In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month in the US, members of Latinx @ EF shared why they joined this resource group and what being part of this community has meant to them. What is Latinx @ EF? It's a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) resource group that seeks to celebrate the visibility and richness of Latinx/Hispanic culture by raising awareness, elevating our Latinx employees and customers, and cultivating community across culture and life experiences. In addition to planning EF’s annual Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, Latinx @ EF creates space to connect with one another, support the community, and network with fellow team members. #WeAreEF #EFEducationFirst #HispanicHeritageMonth

Things we love about the EF Austin office: - Great location in the heart of South Congress, just steps away from the best shopping and restaurants - A vibrant office space that packs the energy of a big EF hub into a smaller, close community - Hand-painted murals, live plant installations, and custom-made furniture from local designers, bringing Austin’s spirit indoors - Fun events like “Latte and Learn,” panels and workshops, and an office kickball team Curious about living and working in Austin?

Bringing people together is what we do best, especially when it’s our own team. Leaders from EF International Language Campuses gathered in Budapest to kick off the year with a focus on how to “Own Our Future” together. Over the course of the event, the teams dug into key topics driving transformational change—developing future leaders, leading with strengths, making data-driven decisions, and staying committed to student satisfaction. It was more than just planning for the future. It was about creating it, one step at a time. #WeAreEF #EFEducationFirst #leadership

Lachlan Morton has done it again. Thirty days, 9 hours, 59 minutes. That’s how long it took him to cycle one lap around Australia, starting and ending in his hometown. The ride was just over 14,200 kilometers—and this was about much more than setting a new record. Lachlan has raised over $136,000 AUD ($91,000 USD) and counting for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, an organization focused on providing books and learning resources to Indigenous children living in remote communities across Australia. “Being able to use something that's a passion for me to help people's lives in some way is always special and I think being able to have some impact on some of the places we’ve traveled through means a lot to me.” ↘ Check out the story on CNN: https://lnkd.in/e9rcHBXe EF Pro Cycling #WeAreEF #EFEducationFirst #EFProCycling

Meet Skip: Executive VP of Sales for EF Educational Tours. In 2022 Skip celebrated his 30 years at EF and was honored with his legacy tile outside our EF Zurich office! When asked about what's kept him passionate for so long he said, "The day I'm not growing and learning is when I'll need to do something else, so it looks like I'll do this for a while longer." Photos of Skip on his first EF tour (during his first week of work!) in 1992 and again 23 years later in the same spot. Read about his time at EF, and why he's stayed for so long. https://lnkd.in/gZTVNWEw

Congratulations to EF Ultimate Break for winning WYSE Travel Confederation's award for Best Marketing Campaign ✨ The brief? Get college students to care that they could earn bucket list travel for free as a Campus Ambassador. The solution? A bucket. Yes, like a Home Depot bucket. Scrappy, organic, hilarious, and just wild enough to hold their attention. The team bought a bucket, painted it in the EF Ultimate Break brand color with a QR code on the back, strapped it to their Social Producer, and off she went to the college campuses of Boston. ↘️ Watch the TikTok: https://lnkd.in/ebXe75Eq ↘️ Check out the award: https://lnkd.in/dgjB_UQX Shoutout to the team: Emma Topp - Social Producer Arielle Mulgrew - Head of Social Media Kateri Gemperlein-Schirm - Designer Brady Griffin - Videographer Sarah Heingartner - Associate Creative Director Tom Corbett - Associate Creative Director Kendall Taylor (Moon) - Senior Project Manager Michelle McNeice - VP, Marketing #WeAreEF #EFEducationFirst

EF Education First reposted this
Many thanks to Søren Sattrup from the KILROY Group for a lively conversation with my co-opetitors from the multi-day tour industry as we discussed trends facing our industry at WYSTC (The World Youth and Student Travel Conference) in Lisbon. Thank you to the WYSE Travel Confederation for inviting me to represent EF Ultimate Break on stage to share details about factors impacting our sector of young adult tourism. Enabling more young adults (ages 18-35) to travel the world remains our collective goal as we all work to modernize our technology, support affordability challenges given the increased cost of living (especially for many young travelers still paying off their student loans) and living in a time of climate change where sustainability practices are a huge part of the GenZ and Younger Millennial decision-making process when booking a trip overseas. I’m proud of the work EF World Journeys and EF Ultimate Break are doing to make international travel more accessible, sustainable and easier than ever to book online so more North Americans can explore the world outside their borders. If you are a destination, accommodations provider, airline or tourism partner who wants to join us in this effort, please let me know and we will work together to live up to EF’s mission to open the world through education (and deliver on the enlightenment that comes from traveling the world). #WeAreEF #internationaltravel #youthtravel #education #culture
