Abstract

As a form of experiential learning, field trips offer a way for students to connect what they learn in the classroom with how they work in the real world. In the case of EU politics, field trips offer students the opportunity to physically observe the object of their study and develop an appreciation of the more 'social' side of European integration and the 'Brussels bubble'. This chapter advocates for the greater use of field trips in the teaching of European Studies by setting out their advantages to students’ learning and study experience more broadly. The chapter also discusses a range of practical considerations associated with field trips together with potential challenges and how they may be overcome.
