School tours across Belarus: a journey with purpose

School excursions in Belarus are a unique opportunity to broaden horizons, deepen knowledge in history, culture, and science, and also to see with one’s own eyes the country’s major enterprises and memorable sites. Such trips help children feel a connection with their homeland, see in real life what they read about in textbooks, and better understand the past and present of Belarus.

The Belarusian excursion online portal Ekskursii.by offers school excursions in a wide variety of areas: architectural and historical, military-patriotic, ethnographic, industrial, and natural. These are journeys where children get to know unique architectural masterpieces, historical and protected places of Belarus, as well as folk crafts and the culture of their Motherland. For example, military-patriotic excursions such as trips to Khatyn and the Brest Fortress introduce students to the tragic events of war, heroism, and courage of our ancestors. Ethnographic routes, such as to Dudutki or the historical and cultural complex Sula, immerse children in the traditions and lifestyle of the Belarusian people. Architectural gems like the Mir and Nesvizh castles reveal to students the grandeur and way of life during the era of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Industrial excursions to the MTZ and BELAZ plants help understand how the country's largest factories operate and introduce engineering professions. Nature-focused routes, such as the safari in the Pripyatsky Polesie or a trip to the Belovezhskaya Pushcha, allow children to witness unique nature and rare animals. And interactive trips to Dipriz Park or Ratomka, provide not only new knowledge but also vivid emotions.

School excursions in Belarus not only broaden students’ knowledge but also help them gain a deeper understanding of the country’s history, culture, and natural heritage. Everything children see on these excursions greatly influences their learning and worldview, instilling love for their homeland and interest in its past and present.

The Ekskursii.by portal offers the possibility to combine different routes, uniting historical, natural, and military-patriotic sites into one exciting trip. This approach makes excursions even more rich and informative: students can not only study history through monuments and memorials but also see its connection with military, natural, and industrial objects. Such routes help children absorb information better, make the learning process lively and engaging, and contribute to the development of logical thinking and a comprehensive worldview.
