Field trip

A field trip or excursion is a journey by a group of associated peers, such as co-workers or school students, to a place away from their normal environment for the purpose of education or leisure, either within their country or abroad.

When done by school students as organised by their school administration, as it happens in several school systems, it is also known as school trip in the United Kingdom, Australia, Kenya, New Zealand and Bangladesh, and school tour in Ireland.

A 2022 study, which used randomized controlled trial data, found that culturally enriching field trips led students to show a greater interest in arts, greater tolerance for people with different views, and boosted their educational outcomes.
