Subject

History study trips

To understand our future, we need to understand our past, and there is no better way than visiting the places where events transpired: from the Second World War sites of France, Germany and Poland to the trading towns of the Swahili coast.

On the trip

What students explore

  • World War II in France, Germany and Poland

    Memorials, museums and former centres of power turn textbook knowledge into meaningful human stories.

  • Swahili civilisation and Indian Ocean trade

    Along the coast, students uncover the legacy of Swahili civilisation and centuries of trade connecting East Africa to the wider world.

  • Pre-colonial and colonial history in Nairobi

    Learners explore key moments in Kenya's pre-colonial, colonial and post-independence history.

  • Kenya's independence journey

    Museums, monuments and heritage sites encourage reflection on Kenya's journey to nationhood and its modern identity.
