Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?
At Rondo Travel, we are dedicated to offering enriching and educational experiences that align closely with the curriculum, especially in the subject of History. During your overseas trip to Copenhagen with us, we deliver a deep dive into History through a variety of meticulously planned activities and visits that bring the past to life for students in a compelling and engaging way.
Here's how we achieve this:
-Curated Historical Visits: Our itineraries include visits to significant historical sites, such as the stunning renaissance castles and royal palaces of Copenhagen. These excursions are not just tours; they are immersive experiences where students can visualize and understand the historical context and significance of each site. For example, a visit to Christiansborg Palace, home to the Danish Parliament, offers insights into the evolution of Danish democracy and governance.
-Expert Guided Tours: We ensure that students gain the most from their visits by arranging tours led by knowledgeable local guides. These experts bring history to life through stories, facts, and anecdotes that textbooks cannot convey, providing a richer understanding of Copenhagen's past and its impact on present-day Denmark.
-Interactive Learning Opportunities: Recognizing that students learn best through engagement, we incorporate interactive elements into our historical tours. This could include Q&A sessions with guides, scavenger hunts within historical sites, or role-playing activities that allow students to step into the shoes of historical figures.
-Tailored to Curriculum Needs: Understanding that each school's curriculum needs can differ, we work closely with teachers to tailor the historical content of the trip. Whether focusing on a specific era, event, or theme within Danish history, we ensure that the educational content aligns with the learning objectives of the school group.
-Pre-Trip Materials and Support: To maximize the educational value of the trip, we provide teachers with pre-trip materials that can help prepare students for what they will learn and experience. These resources are designed to introduce key historical concepts and questions that will be explored in more depth during the visit.
-Reflection and Learning Outcomes: After visits and tours, we encourage reflection sessions where students can discuss what they have learned, ask questions, and express their thoughts. This critical thinking exercise helps solidify their understanding and appreciation of historical subjects.
By focusing on these elements, Rondo Travel ensures that History curriculum delivery during overseas trips is not only informative but also inspiring and memorable for students. We are committed to creating educational journeys that leave a lasting impact on young learners, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of History in the context of their visit to Copenhagen.
At Rondo Travel, we are committed to providing educational trips that enrich students' understanding of Geography in a dynamic and immersive way. Our approach to delivering Geography during your overseas trip to Copenhagen encompasses several key components designed to engage students with both the physical and human elements of the subject.
Here's an outline of how we achieve this:
-Immersive Tours Focused on Sustainability: Copenhagen is globally recognized for its leadership in sustainability and green urban planning. Our trips include guided tours that focus on the city's transformation into an environmentally friendly metropolis. These tours offer students firsthand insights into sustainable living practices, renewable energy projects, and urban design that prioritizes green spaces and biodiversity.
-Exploration of Natural Landscapes: While Copenhagen is known for its urban environment, our itineraries also highlight Denmark's natural geography. Depending on the focus of the trip, this could include visits to coastal areas to discuss land reclamation and sea-level rise, or exploring the country's renewable energy facilities like wind farms, to understand their role in the geography of sustainable energy production.
-Cultural and Human Geography Insights: Through visits to historical sites and cultural landmarks, students gain an understanding of how Copenhagen's history and culture have shaped its development and urban geography. This includes exploring the city's neighborhoods, such as the free town of Christiania, to discuss concepts of urban space, community, and alternative living environments.
-Interactive Learning and Critical Thinking: We encourage interactive learning through activities like scavenger hunts, photo projects, and group discussions that prompt students to observe and think critically about the geographical features and themes they encounter. This approach helps students to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world observations.
-Customized Itineraries to Meet Curriculum Needs: Recognizing the diverse needs of Geography curriculums, we work closely with teachers to tailor each trip to meet specific educational objectives. Whether the focus is on physical geography, human geography, or environmental studies, we ensure that the activities and visits provide relevant, curriculum-aligned learning opportunities.
-Engagement with Local Experts: To deepen the educational experience, we arrange for students to meet with local experts in fields such as urban planning, environmental conservation, and renewable energy. These sessions provide valuable insights into the practical applications of geographical knowledge and allow students to engage with current issues and solutions.
-Pre- and Post-Trip Support: To maximize the trip's educational value, we offer pre-trip resources that introduce key geographical concepts and post-trip materials to help consolidate learning. This support ensures that students are well-prepared for their trip and can integrate their experiences into their ongoing studies.
By focusing on these aspects, Rondo Travel ensures that Geography is not just taught but experienced in a way that is both educational and unforgettable. Our goal is for students to return from Copenhagen with a deeper understanding of Geography, inspired by the innovative and sustainable solutions observed during their trip.
