Cultural & Enrichment Trips to Paris
A cultural and enrichment trip prepares a student for the real world and is character building. What better way to also educate and inspire students than taking them on a trip to Paris which has long been synonymous with style and glamour as well as being the intellectual, artistic and political capital of France.
Paris is one of Europe's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science and the arts. It is especially known for its museums and architectural landmarks such at the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the historical district along the Seine in the city centre is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Here are some of the benefits a cultural and enrichment trip can provide:
- Develop a sense of responsibility.
- Be character building, develop students’ self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-belief.
- Help improve social/interpersonal skills - the ability to communicate or interact well with other people.
- The opportunity to experience cultures, respect differences, and develop new friendships with their peers.
- Broaden their horizons and knowledge.
- Encourages problem solving and teamwork.
- Provides fond memories and long-lasting positive benefits.
Trips can benefit the teacher as well as student! Teacher’s get to observe the student in a different environment and see how they view the world; it can also generate ideas for the teacher to bring back to the classroom.
For extra fun you could extend your trip to include Disneyland® Paris, contact us to quote for your personalised itinerary.
