EDUCATIONAL INTERNATIONAL TOURS IN THE ARTS
Latitude Group Travel custom designs tours to link to The Arts curricula, including Visual Arts, Media Arts and all similar subjects, including the IB subjects Film and Visual Arts. Our expertise enables us to develop or identify specific, curriculum-linked, experiential learning activities to engage your students in active learning.
ALMOST ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
There are endless tour options that we can offer. We work in consultation with you to carefully craft the ultimate customised tour. Your tour can be designed around all or one of The Arts subjects you teach. You may also choose to include any or all of the Performing Arts subjects too, as we can cater for each group separately where each student is involved in activities specifically related to their particular subject. It all happens concurrently, so there is no wasted time! We are the only tour company that combines all The Arts and Performing Arts subjects on tour, if you wish.
SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
Safe and secure travel is paramount for us. Between our Managing Director and CEO alone, we have over 35 + years travel experience, in particular in worldwide, educational, student, group travel.
COMBINING SUBJECTS ON THE ONE TOUR
Our expertise allows us to organise your tour so that several subject groups can travel together successfully. Imagine all of your groups concurrently engaged in their own area of interest – workshop, clinic, class or themed guided tour (and more). Combine your IB students with your mainstream curriculum and we will ensure relevant activities for both groups. Later, enjoy sightseeing and a range of other experiences together, so the groups feel as one. Art subjects can easily be combined with History and/or a language. Considering a tour in this way will assist with economies of scale and helps meet your minimum participant number requirement.
We run specific activities for each group concurrently: Visual Arts, Media, Dance, Drama, Music (Vocal and Instrumental), Theatre, Film and more if you wish, so that each group may be doing a workshop or other activity concurrently. This means that each group’s specific learning needs are met. Should you prefer to take your Visual Arts, Media Arts or Film students on tour without the performing arts students, we can develop some enticing, remarkable arts tours covering everything from photography to graffiti, fine art to fluorescent art, film to television, all combined with practical hands-on lessons. Art students can even sketch in the greatest of art galleries. There are so many possibilities!
