Types of School Trips
The educational regulations state that schools engage in tourism and sightseeing activities, during which the following trips are organized:
1. Subject-related trips – designed to complement the curriculum of one or more subjects,
2. Sightseeing and tourism trips – organized to acquire knowledge about the surrounding environment and the ability to apply this knowledge in practice,
3. Specialist sightseeing and tourism trips – these trips involve intensive tourism activities, physical exertion, or long-distance trails.
Every trip, whether far or near, to a princely castle or a leisure venue, is educational. Each outing beyond the school walls teaches children how to function in a group, independence (they must dress themselves, take care of their needs, make purchases), and it broadens their perspective on the world.
Where do teachers most often take their students?
- to historical places – visiting old castles, churches, and open-air museums offers an excellent lesson not only in history but also in art, music, Polish language, and geography,
- to natural sites – botanical gardens, zoos, and educational forest trails help understand the complex world of nature, its problems, obstacles, and ways to assist it,
- to thematic workshops – can holiday cooking be a useful lesson? Yes! It can be a lesson that helps discover new skills or passions,
- to entertainment venues – amusement parks are not only an opportunity for group play but also for learning general safety rules.
Instilling in children the desire to travel and explore their surroundings is one of the school's and the school guardian's fundamental tasks. The implementation of these tasks varies.
