Citizenship trip to London, Brussels and Paris
An enriching experience
This educational school trip supports the citizenship aspect of national curriculum for England, however the trip can also be offered as an enriching experience for students studying alternative curriculums. Through cultural exchanges, educational visits, as well as some fun excursions, students will improve their knowledge, skills and understanding of the world around them, helping prepare them for a full and active role in society. Travelling to three European capitals allows students to learn about democracy, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance for others.
