The cultural benefits of school trips abroad are endless. It’s a whole new experience for your KS2 pupils, and it means they can try new things and broaden their view of the world! Here are some great benefits of educational trips abroad for your young pupils.
Exposure to different cultures
There’s a lot for KS2 pupils to learn about the world around them. But taking them on a school trip abroad is one of the best ways for pupils to experience other cultures first-hand. They’ll try new foods and explore historic landmarks, widening their perspective on different ways of life.
Pupils are always encouraged to put themselves in other people’s shoes, so they can understand and explain how a character from a book might be feeling, for example. Exposing them to different cultures on educational trips abroad is a fantastic way to develop their understanding of real people around the world.
Learn new languages
One of the best benefits of school trips abroad is that they are perfect for those learning languages. Perhaps you’re teaching your pupils a little bit of French? Well, going on a school trip to France is one of the best things you can do for the development of your pupils' French-speaking skills. They’ll be able to try and have conversations with locals, maybe when buying something from a shop or ordering food, building up their confidence as they go.
At PGL, we offer French Language & Culture Trips for KS2 to Paris! They’ll get to explore Paris and the surrounding areas and return to their home away from home, Château de Grande Romaine, to relax in wide open spaces after a busy day out and about.
Appreciate diversity
Respect and understanding for other cultures is hugely important. When pupils experience other cultures, it helps them develop an appreciation for diversity and different ways of life. With KS2 pupils soon to be heading to secondary school, having respect and understanding for new students that they will meet is vital.
Become globally aware
Pupils aren’t expected to know everything about current global affairs, but helping them develop an awareness of global issues and events is another benefit of school trips abroad.
A trip like this could spark their engagement with the world on another level and improve their critical-thinking skills.
