An educational tour is a part of the academic experience in most schools and colleges. Such tours help students to understand firsthand about various subjects. It offer students of all Classes an opportunity for a rich immersion experience. Educational trips are always a fun, enriching and learning experience for both students and faculty members at a personal and professional level.
As a part of B.Ed curriculum we, the first year students of Baselios Marthoma Mathews II Training College planned to conduct an educational tour. For the convenience of students and teachers aur college has decided to conduct 3 set of tours to provide an opportunity for all students to participate in the tour programme according to their financial and physical condition or health. The first group planned to explore Goa, second group planned to explore Wayanad and the third group organised a one day trip to Trivandrum respectively. I was in the second group. We conducted a 3 day trip to Coorg and Wayanad on 31st October 2022. We started our journey from kottarakara includes 46 students, 3 teaches; a group of 49. The journey started around 2pm.

An educational tour is a fun – filled experience. As the tour may be too far away places, it is an opportunity for students to have a jolly time together. As a teacher trainee, it was an unforgettable memory and experience. It helps to learn through visual experience. It creates a sense of teamwork and community among the students as they experience a field trip together. I got an opportunity to participate in the tour program. It offers an opportunity for immersion of experience. Not only that, it makes life memories with friends, which is no doubt a fun learning experience in itself.
