Partner with us

Timetravel Ceylon works at the intersection of culture, research, and experience design.

Beyond our curated journeys, we collaborate with universities, museums, foundations, and community arts organisations to create exposure visits, field programmes, and immersive study tours that reveal the living heritage of Sri Lanka.

Our work is rooted in oral histories, traditional craft, ecological knowledge, and place-based storytelling—offering institutions an authentic, ethically grounded engagement with Sri Lankan culture.

What we offer

Field immersion programmes

Universities, schools and research centres, this is your invitation to partner with us.

Let’s collaborate on immersive, place-based field experiences that introduce students to Sri Lanka’s living cultural landscapes. These programmes are meant to bridge theory and lived experience. We offer thoughtfully designed educational journeys for International Baccalaureate (IB) schools, with programmes aligned to experiential learning and CAS-oriented outcomes.

Heritage and craft exposure visits

Curated encounters with master artisans, village ateliers, and traditional craft lineages.

Participants witness the knowledge systems, rituals, and social histories that shape material culture.

Community-based research facilitation

Support for institutions conducting ethnographic, environmental, or cultural research within local communities.

We provide ethical frameworks, introductions, translation, and on-ground guidance.

Cultural mapping workshops

Interactive workshops that explore how stories, spaces, and memory intersect in a given landscape.


Participants learn methodologies for mapping intangible heritage, narratives, and community practices.

Residencies with local artists and artisans

Short-term creative residencies that pair visiting artists or scholars with hereditary craft practitioners.

These exchanges foster dialogue, co-creation, and preservation through lived practice.

Curated visits for arts foundations

Bespoke cultural itineraries designed for arts patrons, trustees, and philanthropic foundations.

These engagements reveal Sri Lanka’s most compelling cultural projects, innovators, and community movements.

Experiential CAS Programmes for IB schools in Sri Lanka

Time Travel Ceylon designs curriculum-aligned educational travel programmes for International Baccalaureate (IB) schools, using Sri Lanka as a living classroom. Our journeys extend learning beyond textbooks through place-based inquiry, service engagement, and guided reflection, in line with the IB philosophy of developing internationally minded, ethically grounded learners.

Our programmes are suitable for IB Diploma, MYP, and senior secondary cohorts, and are especially relevant for schools seeking meaningful CAS-aligned experiences and interdisciplinary field learning.

    • CAS-aligned service learning: Community partnerships and environmental projects that foster collaboration, initiative, and global engagement

    • Experiential learning & inquiry: History, environmental studies, literature, and cultural encounters rooted in real-world contexts

    • Interdisciplinary perspectives: Linking place, narrative, ecology, and society to support TOK thinking and reflective learning

    • Guided reflection: Structured reflection prompts and documentation to support school-based assessment and CAS evidence

    • Clearly articulated learning outcomes aligned with IB educational aims

    • Detailed itineraries with academic, cultural, and service components

    • Comprehensive risk assessments and safeguarding protocols

    • Support materials for teachers, including pre- and post-trip learning frameworks

    • Programmes tailored to age group, curriculum focus, and school priorities

  • Each programme is custom-designed in consultation with schools, ensuring academic relevance, logistical clarity, and a high standard of care. We work closely with educators to create experiences that are both educationally rigorous and deeply engaging.

    For enquiries, pilot programmes, or curriculum discussions, we welcome conversations with IB coordinators and school leadership teams.
