About this school trip
We are happy to take care of transport for you and your pupils to the In Flanders Fields Museum on the Grote Markt in Ypres. The museum brings the history of the First World War to life and is all about understanding the past in order to learn lessons for the future.
The education department offers programmes for pupils aged 10 to 12, 13 to 15 and 16 to 18. You can add a workshop, a walk or a full-day programme to the visit, and prepare the class in lessons beforehand or reflect together afterwards. The museum asks you to book activities at least one month in advance, together with the group visit.
War, loss and casualties are a sensitive subject. We recommend preparing your pupils well and making time for questions and discussion after the visit. Would you like a guided coach tour of the former front line? Our coach and experienced driver are ready for you. ITS-Reizen provides comfortable and safe transport, so you can focus entirely on your pupils.
