The 1895 Project

✈️ We're Lisbon bound!

In just days, The 1895 Project students will be touching down in Lisbon, Portugal, and we are bursting with pride for every single one of them. This trip is the result of months of dedication and preparation, and they are MORE than ready.

Hear it from the students themselves:

🌟 "I want to come to Lisbon because I see it as an opportunity to experience a new culture, see places I've never seen before, and meet people from different backgrounds. What excites me most is everything I'll learn while I'm there—discovering what's different, experiencing new things, and understanding how life works in another country" — Nevaeh
🌟 "The trip (to Lisbon) represents a chance to step into those spaces that stretch me. It is an opportunity to ask questions, to listen intentionally, and learn with humility" — Addison
🌟 "I hope to represent not only myself, but also other young girls who dream big and refuse to let anything limit their future" — Amira
🌟 "I want to understand Portugal not as a tourist but as a student of the world, and bring the lessons I learned back to my community" — Amnah
🌟 "The opportunity to travel to Lisbon is not merely a vacation; it's a chance to immerse myself in a culture vastly different from my own, fostering a global mindset that will undoubtedly influence my future" — Sylvia

This experience is about so much more than travel. It's about expanding horizons, building confidence, and showing our young leaders that the world belongs to them too. 🌍
