Poppy Travel for Schools and Young People
Poppy Travel is the travel division of The
Royal British Legion. As the national custodian of
Remembrance, The Royal British Legion and Poppy Travel believe that
Remembrance should be used to inform people about the realities of
conflict, those that are affected by wars and the importance of
peace.
Poppy Travel for Schools and Young People arranges specialist
tours to real battlefields and war cemeteries that provide young
people, students and teachers with an opportunity to learn beyond
the classroom and to understand and participate in
Remembrance and how lives are affected by conflict.
Our tours are designed to bring the
past to life. Our aim is that students understand the sites they
visit not as monuments to people of the past, but as living
memories to help us understand and reflect on the present.
Tours are planned to match your school's requirements and led by
specialist guides, all of whom have experience of working with
young people. Tours are currently being offered in France, Belgium,
Holland, Germany, Southern Italy and Poland and there are
familiarisation trips for teachers and education staff throughout
the year.
