Bhutan

Past, Present, Future

Bhutan 2024 - 25 

In August 2024 our roving reporter will be heading to the Kingdom of Bhutan, employed by the kingdom, to deliver masterclasses in project management to students as part of the renowned DE-SUUNG SKILLING PROGRAMME. This will provide our educator, researcher and photographer unprecedented access to capture stories of the Bhutanese culture and communities as the happiest country in the world tackles the future.  

The Bhutanese government only covers teaching expenses, so to fund this expedition, we will create a photojournal coffee table and digital resources to engage with the adventurous eco-traveller.  25% of profits from sales will be distributed to a Bhutanese charity.
