The EF Departure Kit

Around 40-60 days before teachers leave for tour, we send them kits for themselves and their students: our iconic EF backpacks, our Travel & Safety Guide, an emergency card, and an opening note. Since these kits hadn’t been updated since 2019, we decided to rethink them in 2022. What emerged: An updated guidebook, complete with a new section on mental health on tour, and a new welcome postcard that introduced the kit and stoked that “oh-my-god-this-is-real-and-I’m-actually-about-to-travel!” excitement.
