Government, Politics and History School Trips
Take a journey through time to learn about the historical periods that have shaped society as we know it today. Our range of history school trips combines elements of government and politics too, giving your students a rounded overview of how political systems work.
History, Government and Politics intertwine as subjects, allowing students to explore the symbolism and history that has helped define and shape the political systems seen around the world today. Students can explore the great moments in history from slavery and the US Civil Rights through to the World Wars and the Cold War in Eastern Europe.
Why history school trips are important?
Each destination and attraction is carefully chosen to maximise the educational benefits for students. We believe history, government and politics studies should provide students with cultural and societal perspectives that serve. Combining classroom learning and educational theory with practical work and visits to synonymous sites of war and conflict enhances the understanding of students in their development.
Students can explore various historical periods and symbolic sites such as the World War II Battlefields in Normandy and the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps in Krakow. Our dedicated tour consultants will work alongside you to craft an itinerary that creates a strong foundational basis for understanding complex historical and political concepts.

History trips for schools
As the birthplace of the French Revolution, Paris is a great place to visit as is New York, the gateway to the land of opportunity providing an insight into how mass immigration shaped the city and gave it its diverse and distinct neighbourhoods. Trips to the World War Battlefields in France provide an understanding as to why the World War I was known as the ‘’Great War’’ and why World War II was one of the deadliest conflicts in modern human history.
On a history school trip in Berlin, students of 20th Century History gain an understanding of the key role the city has played in world history and its resilience and ability to continually reinvent itself. Nuremberg and Munich provide focus on Hitler and the Third Reich, and in Krakow, students can really get to grips with life under Nazi occupation.
