  Abstract:  “Travel the World!” – High School Field Trips. „At one time, it was called a learning trip, whose primary goal was to enable the students to visit the country’s notable areas and towns. Today, gathering knowledge and cultural experiences has faded into the background; for students, this is no longer the experience of paramount importance; rather, it is the pleasure that comes from free, unfettered time together, and an escape from the schoolroom.” (P. Kürönya PhD). This paper is based on the theme of school field trips, changes to the traditions over the past few years of these excursions, as well as the needs and expectations of high-schoolers with regards to school trips. As well, in order to have practical value, the paper has to compile a program basis for a school trip which contains not only team building but also encompasses sight-seeing, interactive programs and games. A poll was carried out among the grade 9 and 10 students attending the Hungarian collegiates (academic high-schools), in the form of a questionnaire. A total of 403 questionnaires were completed and analyzed.

Keywords: field trips, high school students, education.
