Your business studies school trip to Brussels will help your students to better understand how businesses and institutions work within the Belgian, European and international economies!
You’ll have the opportunity to visit places such as the Cantillon Brewery Museum and a chocolatier to see how smaller-scale businesses work, before heading to Autoworld to learn about the history of the automotive industry, or even the Coca Cola Visitors Centre where your students can explore the workings of a global brand.
And you can even take part in a workshop designed to teach your students about the global economy, its mechanisms, the effects of globalisation and the importance of responsible consumption!
Smaller group? Why not join forces with your school's science or food technology departments to make this a cross-curricular school trip to Brussels?
