TGS aims to provide an educational and life-changing experience that allows for personal growth, the building of social networks, and most importantly fun! However, as an adult, you are responsible for your own behaviour, and managing the risks that are associated with travel and adventure in a foreign country. Just because a place, and even social practices may look familiar, they are not necessarily so. It is important for you to understand the culture and the laws of your host country to ensure you do not offend.

TGS provides pre-departure resources to help you prepare for the experience and follows this up with an orientation program that reinforces much of this information. Prior to departure all students will need to read and acknowledge the TGS Code of Conduct and Behaviour.
