    Your school trip can be built into a coherent project with Travelbound. In addition to the excursions we can arrange, we can also organise a curriculum-focused study programme for students to undertake during their visit.

  • Parliament of the EU

    Seeing the parliament in session (when it is in Strasbourg) allows students to see how local concerns and debates are handled on a European stage. Students can also discover the links between political participation and politics before learning how they can take action.

  • European Court of Human Rights

    Citizens are endowed with rights, but sometimes action needs to be taken to ensure these rights are upheld. Visiting this court allows students to see how citizens ensure the laws that guarantee human rights are implemented.

  • Struthof Concentration Camp

    Students can see how racism, hatred and war have led to the suffering of ordinary people, even children, just like them. The numbers humanise the victims of the past and explain the need for European harmony.
