ORLANDO, FLORIDA – A group of honors students from Southwest Virginia Community College recently attended Disney’s Teamwork Education Series, a unique learning experience at the iconic Disney Parks. The series, held at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, is designed to teach students essential skills in teamwork, communication, and leadership.

Through a combination of hands-on activities and field studies, students learn valuable lessons on how to collaborate effectively, develop their leadership style, and apply critical thinking skills to solve real-world problems. The program includes team-building exercises, interactive assemblies, and field studies that reinforce classroom lessons in science, arts, humanities, and leadership.
