About this school trip
We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren, near Brussels. This museum and research centre on Africa, with a focus on Central Africa, stands in extensive parkland. When the museum was renovated, it looked for ways to examine the colonial past and its own history in an open and critical way.
For secondary schools there are guided tours and workshops. Alongside a general tour, there are themed tours on natural resources and timber, a history tour on 'a complex and shared past', and a workshop on colonisation for the oldest pupils. It is an excellent basis for a critical classroom discussion about colonialism and its legacy today.
After the museum visit, the class can enjoy the park. ITS-Reizen takes your pupils to Tervuren and back in a comfortable, safe coach, with an experienced driver at the wheel.
