“The humanities, done right, are the crucible in which our evolving notions of what it means to be fully human are put to the test; they teach us, incrementally, endlessly, not what to do, but how to be.”
INTERNATIONAL HUMANITIES TOURS
At Latitude Group Travel we take Humanities beyond the classroom!
We create fully customised Humanities school tours that align with your learning goals and inspire meaningful engagement. Bring the Humanities to life through immersive, Humanities-focused educational trips filled with unforgettable workshops and travel experiences for your students. Whether you’re guiding a Religious Studies group through India’s temples and rituals to explore Hinduism, or inspiring Civics and Citizenship students at the United Nations headquarters, we’ll design a tailored school tour that brings learning to life.
Educational Humanities trips tailored to you
If you follow the Australian Curriculum, International Baccalaureate, or another international framework, our humanities curriculum focused tours are designed to support and enhance your curriculum, including subjects like Civics and Citizenship, Religious Studies, and a range of other humanities-based electives.
From visiting parliaments, religious landmarks, and global organisations like the UN, to participating in workshops, themed guided tours, and cultural exchanges, every activity is selected to deepen understanding through experiential learning. Students might explore the development of democracy in Canberra, witness civic processes abroad, or connect with living faith traditions in cities like Rome, Jerusalem, or New York. We also support cross-curricular travel, allowing groups studying different subjects to travel together, each with their own tailored activities, while enjoying shared travel experiences. Whether you’re planning a Humanities excursion in Australia or an international experience, our team ensures your humanities curriculum focused tour is academically relevant, age-appropriate, and engages students in active learning. We also take into account the General Capabilities in the Australian Curriculum, the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile and cross curriculum priorities. We can design for any international curriculum if your school is not in Australia.
Safe and secure travel is paramount for us, with over 35 years of worldwide student group travel experience. Our team will work collaboratively with you to create the perfect custom itinerary, and take care of all the organising and logistics to make your school trip completely hassle-free.
HUMANITIES SUBJECT ACTIVITIES
Our itineraries allow your group to take in iconic sights, combined with as many classes, workshops, themed guided tours and curriculum-linked, experiential learning activities as you wish. We ensure that academic and practical endeavours are age and experience appropriate. Our knowledge of the curriculum (state, national and International Baccalaureate, along with any other curriculum you may teach) and our consultative process, ensures that we understand the learning outcomes required.
Example experiential learning activities:
- Take one of our carefully crafted tours to Canberra to study the development of Australian Democracy.
- Take an international tour to visit global organisations, such as the United Nations. Learn how NGOs such as these have responded to issues of international importance.
- Workshops, guided tours and lectures will assist students to take a global view of major international events and crises.
- Visit the parliament of other countries and stay for a session to see how parliament works.
- Study Magna Carta or Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Once you are in front of these ground-breaking documents, you’ll want to know all about their impact on the citizens of that era.
- Visit iconic Ellis Island with its tour explaining the situation that greeted all immigrants to America. You’ll learn about what they faced and how some of the immigrants were turned away or faced a long stay in the hospital right there on the Island.
- Students will be guided to analyse and evaluate how to better handle or avoid these devastating episodes.
- International tours can also be designed to study the development (or otherwise) of democracy in the country/countries visited.
- In Italy visit major religious sites including Assisi, Montecassino, Padua and more. Learn about the extraordinary Saints associated with each location.
- Students will experience an authentic Chassidic Jewish community in an up close and personal way on this Discovery Walking Tour, led by a rabbi. Both moving and educational, this tour will open your eyes to this richly diverse community and take you to sites not generally accessible to the public.
- Experience the soul-stirring power of Gospel music in Harlem.
- Explore historic Harlem and witness its Renaissance on a tour.
- Explore Christian ethics with a discussion on euthanasia, war or pacifism, human rights and a range of beliefs in God.
- Allow different religions to come alive through learning dances from religious festivals. Study their meaning.
