I talk with Alex Seigel on how educational trips are a valuable part of a school's curriculum, providing students with transformative experiences and fostering intercultural understanding.

And a great trip includes a balance of key sites and unique experiences, tailored to the interests and educational goals of the students. Adventure leaders and local experts play a crucial role in organising and guiding the trips, providing insights into the destinations and facilitating connections with local communities.

These trips can have a long-lasting impact on students' lives and careers, and it is important for schools to assess and measure this impact. Overall, educational trips offer a powerful way to enhance learning and broaden students' perspectives.
