A note on 360 and COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe affecting virtually all aspects of our lives and creating a huge amount of uncertainty for all of us in the coming weeks and months ahead.

The 360 team has been following events closely and has decided that it is prudent to postpone the June 2020 trip to Tajikistan to a date later on in the year when there is more certainty around the health crisis and global travel.

This is a decision which has not been taken lightly but we feel it is necessary to protect the safety of you, the participants, and to ensure that your experience in Tajikistan is impactful and inspiring.
