"We’ll have “postcard moments” at the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum in Rome but VADO is more interested in seeing how far we can push the overall academic experience for each individual trip. "

Ryan Foose, VADO - Sr. Experience Advisor

Our beliefs coincide with scientific findings; people remember personal experiences more when they engage with emotions, places and stories.

Emotion

When we have an emotional experience, the brain actually takes in more detail to form a stronger memory. Connecting students intimately with culture and history means a higher chance of vivid memories.

Place

Place plays a strong role in experience and memory. People tend to connect a trip through place; whether that be a specific shop, a full building, a long street or the senses of a city/country, in general.

Story

The brain pays more attention when information is received in the form of a narrative. So instead of students just going from place to place, VADO connects the overall trip into one teachable story.

 

Every institution and individual professor we work with will get a custom tour. We want to enhance the experience for your students and elevate your ability to teach.
