Learning Expedition 2014 - A remarkable event


Learning Expedition 2014 is the 4th study tour arranged by Clique College from 11th March to 16th March 2014 in Sri Lanka specially covering Kandy and Nuwera Eliya and Colombo city limits.

This Study Tour was was promoted as a trip of a lifetime and it certainly was for my self and hope it was the same with students as well. Study tours are expensive, it requires investment of both in money and time, and it is very important that such tours are of value to the participants and their studies. As with the three previous study tours, this tour was no exception. It was worth a great deal more than the cost of participation. This was the only time where 45 students participated in the tour and 10 -15 were in the waiting list. It shows that the interest of the students for the tour and the proper marketing initiatives by the organisers. 

Clique College Business Development Manager and Learning Expedition Co- organiser, Mr. M.F.M Roshan, said the tour, was part of Clique College’s commitment to giving local students an international perspective.

Learning Expedition Colombo 2011...

A study tour was arranged by Clique College with Student Association WITS and was dubbed as "Learning Expedition Colombo 2011" to Sri Lanka from 22nd March to 26th March 2011.
Students before departure
I have not being in a study tour before. I was not very familiar with it. This is one reason I was very keen in working in the project. Everything that has been done was new to me. I was all the day busy making arrangements for the tour. Students were expecting a lot from the tour. No one has been in a study and is excited how it would be. I hear from students that they feel it would be boring. 

There were 14 students who confirmed and paid to go for the tour. All the arrangements were done except for the visits that we have to make. I met with the students to inform that what they have to do prior to the departure and assured them that it would be enjoyable. Rules were made and instructions were given. President of Clique College met with the students to inform them the purpose of the trip and what they have to gain from the trip.

Everything was so packed, and works left to do. I was busy with visit arrangements while president helped me to get the necessary documents for the tour. Students were trying their best to do the presentation. I am happy here to note that I saw 14 enthusiastic students and I was glad they wanted to be a part of it.
