Mumbai, fondly known as the ‘City of Dreams’, is India’s second most populous city. Home to the thriving film industry, Mumbai’s cityscape is characterised by thriving economic hubs. Its history is rooted in colonial era when the British settled here and made it an active commercial port. Since then, Mumbai has become a synonym of economic growth, enterprise, and innovation. A visit to this megapolis gives students an opportunity to get a peek into unique economic enterprises and even iconic structures heavily influenced by Victorian and Art Deco styles.
To gain a perspective of how Indian economy operates, we have chosen a few enterprises that would give students an overview of business processes. On one hand, it is striking to see the Dabbawallas running their complex delivery system flawlessly on time; whereas, on the other hand, the residents of Dharavi have found ways to become self-sufficient by establishing small production units. An extensive tour of the Film City showcases what goes behind-the-scenes to create magic on the screen for our wide audiences. In addition to this, the visit to prominent landmarks of the city helps one to understand the influences of colonial rule on Indian architectural styles. Moreover, the students gain an insight into how people live in a crowded metropolitan space marked by growth in population on a daily average basis.

Any student of your school in the age group of 7-17years (Class II- XII) is welcome to join this program provided the child faces no serious medical conditions which may be difficult to address satisfactorily during the journey. Also, any adult who is not a member of the school staff or management is not allowed to join the school group.
As teachers are the legally appointed guardians of the students for the entire course of the journey, it is advisable that the selected teacher/s are experienced and have the capacity to address issues related to student safety, well-being and behavior. Physical fitness and travel experience are added advantage as most programs are fast-paced and hectic.
The accepted industry practice is of 1 adult per 10 students (1:10).
Underpinning each EdTerra journey is the concern to address student safety at all levels. Being an ISO 9001: 2008 company, EdTerra complies with globally accepted standards for efficient processes, including rigorous safety standards.
The accompanying EdTerra Journey Mentor provides daily updates on the EdTerra Facebook page (like us at edterraindia), along with photographs of the day’s activities for parents to keep a track of the journey progress. Parents are also provided with contact details of the hotels where students will be staying during the journey. The school may permit students to carry their mobiles or share the number of the lead teacher.
On account of student safety, EdTerra does not allow any child to meet/visit any relatives during the journey. For every EdTerra journey the rule is simple, you move out of your school/city as a group and you return as a group.
EdTerra provides wholesome and hygienic food during the journey. An ample variety of local cuisine is provided as a part of the travel experience.
Depending on the location and time/season of travel, EdTerra will provide an exhaustive to-pack list, enabling students to pack appropriately for the journey.
Depending upon the program selected, distance from home city and duration of the program, overnight travel may be considered as an option for travel to/ from the destination.
EdTerra journeys operate on a minimum group size of 30 paying pax, and multiples thereof.
"EdTerra is an education company. The entire US Edventure was a testimony to their commitment... Such an inspirational journey!"
