Now Accepting 12 Founding Participants
Join the first small founding group for a 15-day Cultural Learning Journey now thoughtfully adapted to include three days reserved for locally guided community recovery and service following the August 2026 floods.
Three Days Reserved for Partner-Led Community Recovery & Service
Following the devastating August 2026 floods in Nepal, StoryBridge Nepal is thoughtfully adapting the November 1–15 founding journey. Three days near the end of the program will now be reserved for locally guided community support or recovery service, based on what is genuinely needed, safe, and appropriate at that time.
Listen First
We will not arrive with a predetermined volunteer project. The specific work will be identified closer to departure through our Nepal-based partners and, where appropriate, established community or humanitarian organizations.
Serve Where Useful
The service window may involve educational recovery, organizing or preparing supplies, community support, or another locally requested role suitable for a short-term visiting group.
Safety Guides the Plan
Whenever practical, the service component will be based in or around Kathmandu rather than requiring participants to enter an active disaster area. Local guidance, access, permissions, and participant wellbeing will shape the final plan.
Two Ways to Experience StoryBridge Nepal
Begin with the November 2026 Cultural Learning Journey—now including a three-day partner-led community service window—or explore faculty-led partnerships designed with educational institutions.
Cultural Learning Journey
Travel through Kathmandu, Dhulikhel, Chautara–Irkhu, and the Sukute River region while experiencing local relationships, cultural learning, agriculture, storytelling, reflection, and carefully selected regional experiences. For November 2026, three days near the end of the journey are also reserved for locally guided community recovery and service.
Educational Institution Partnerships
Explore faculty-led collaboration, study-abroad planning, curriculum alignment, and future small-cohort programs developed with local partners in Nepal for colleges, high schools, trade schools, and other educational institutions.

StoryBridge Nepal
StoryBridge Nepal brings together participants, educators, local partners, and future educational institution partners through field-based learning and cultural exchange.
The program is shaped by relationships in Nepal and by nearly two decades of international program development through Kids Share Workshops, established in 2008.
Global Learning Through Place, Relationship & Reflection
StoryBridge’s learning framework connects field experience with community engagement, storytelling, reflection, and educational outcomes.
Built Upon Nearly Two Decades of International Storytelling, Education & Cultural Exchange
StoryBridge Nepal grows from the work of Kids Share Workshops, established in 2008, and carries that experience forward through carefully developed Cultural Learning Journeys, Educational Institution Partnerships, local collaboration, reflective field learning, and—when appropriate—locally guided community service in Nepal.
