We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

In our recent webinar, “From the Classroom to Careers”, in collaboration with the Association for Language Learning, four of our linguists shared how they’ve used languages in their careers - and why students should consider continuing them beyond the classroom.

Joey Tempest, Tour Consultant here at Rayburn Tours, also shared her own language journey, from living in Andorra and tutoring at the Spanish Embassy, to teaching in UK schools and now working in travel and tourism with Rayburn Tours.

At Rayburn Tours, we’re proud to champion languages and the linguists behind them, and to inspire young people through our school language trips.

What a few days our team has experienced at , hosted by COBIS - Council of British International Schools

Bringing together supporters, exhibitors, members, keynote speakers and school leaders from across the globe, we came together under the shared theme of Listen. Learn. Lead.

After days of inspiring sessions, speakers lacing there messaging into this theme, we came away with so many highlights.

One example being a statement made by Deborah Eyre. "Adolescence is the golden age of learning. We need to create a space for our children to thrive!"

We couldn't agree more - it's what we strive to achieve each and every day...

It's definitely time for Reflection. Collaboration. Action.

Thankyou for welcoming us COBIS - Council of British International Schools
