Benefits of International School / College / Company Tours
Improved critical thinking skills
While modern resources and new-age teaching styles are continuously improving learning in a classroom environment, advocates for experiential learning argue that when learning concepts are applied to real-life situations, they’re more likely to stick. To prepare students adequately for life beyond study teachers should consider including memorable, real-life experiences such as an international school trip in the curriculum.
Worldview is a personal framework of beliefs, values, and attitudes which affect everything we perceive, think, feel, and do. An individual’s worldview is shaped by societal norms and the experiences they have throughout their life.
Global travel and even travel can help person to explore the world around them and the wonderful mixture of cultures. cuisines, and traditions that make up this colourful tapestry we call home. Amidst the sea of differences which exist between one culture and the next there’s a familiarity, a common ground and plenty of shared loves throughout the globe. Travel in this way is an excellent opportunity for students to experience cultures outside of their own and understand these shared loves such as music, art and history, celebrating the elements which bring us all together. Students can also get a first-hand view of how their culture has leant elements to others and vice versa, unearthing the unique origins, meanings and interpretations within each culture.
Lack of confidence in public speaking, conversational skills and the dreaded presentation are often issues which students struggle with, ultimately limiting them from reaching and performing at their true potential. Travel, and educational trips challenge a person who may be shy or find it difficult to engage with unfamiliar people, to step out of their comfort zone and face these issues head on. Asking for directions, asking questions to staff at visits and even ordering food while travelling make social interaction unavoidable, and will boost student’s confidence every time they encounter it. As a result, you may find classroom engagement and involvement increases in all the right places!
It’s no secret that given the chance students will always gravitate towards their friends during group tasks, who wouldn’t? On school trips however, classes experience learning outside the classroom environment, going through experiences together and building relationships outside of their usual groups. Students develop a unique relationship bonding through mutual interests and the shared memories and experiences. This will benefit the dynamic not only with each other but with the teachers. These experiences equip them with new skills for collaborative work, group discussions and group tasks, enhancing their performance and achievement in these activities.
Getting to know your students / colleague on an international trip is a great way to build a strong rapport with them. You will reap the benefits of this for the rest of the teaching / employment year.
Visiting museums and participating in learning workshops that expose students to real-world learning may help them to grasp difficult concepts more easily and reinforce classroom material. By enabling students to apply classroom material to real-world situations, they will understand the value in what they are learning now and how it will help them succeed in life beyond school.
The purpose of it is to prepare one for life, and each person has a unique learning style. Some students / person are intrapersonal learners, while others flourish in social environments.
Opening to a world of possibilities previously perceived as unavailable to them is one of the best ways to increase their motivation. When person realises they can materialise their dream of becoming a scientist at NASA or a designer for Apple, they are likely to be more focused at school.
It will create lifelong memories from the experiences and opportunities that take place on your international trip. A trip may inspire your students to revisit a country in the future or propel them into a study and career path they hadn’t previously thought of.
External, interactive learning activities tie learning to personal experiences and memories, helps develop a deeper understanding of subjects and topics. This often promotes better behaviour, achievement and involvement back in the classroom.
Educational trips allow to experience, witness and understand the hardships faced by others, both now and throughout history. When exposed to different cultures, races and religions students can develop a crucial understanding that despite differences in views, languages, appearances, religions and cultural traditions we are all the same, simply Humans with emotions, rights and opinions.
Travel and school trips are an excellent way for students to gain a better insight of the world around them, from political, economic and societal stand points. Experiences like educational trips will not only allow students to view a country and culture as it is today but explore how it got there through its history and where it’s heading in the future. Hands on, first-hand experiences allow students to develop their own, more rounded understanding of countries and cultures rather than what they hear in the media and get taught in the classroom
