Well, there are certain practical considerations:
- It's close at hand therefore easy to get to
- Generally, France has constantly supported and invited educational tours from abroad. That's part of its long-established policy of multiplying an awareness of French culture and removing the mutual misunderstandings, suspicions and hostility vibe between Europeans that has prompted to such a variety of wars in the past.
- It's easy to get around and it's also a great opportunity to practice that GCSE French.
- However, none of these are necessarily confirms that students learn very much from such trips - so do they really? Again, we say most certainly.
Why is France different?
- One reason behind why studying abroad in France is so beneficial is that it can make students aware. There is a different and sometimes almost alien world-view that exists just 20 miles from parts of the coast of England.
- It doesn't really make a difference which set of qualities you hold fast to or believe in, what is important for students is to see and experience a different set of views and qualities. It's about opening minds and thinking outside about the cultural box we grow up in.
- Clearly, in case if you're walking around the Eiffel Tower you're not going to see these philosophical differences, but rather you may somewhere else! For example, when staying in small town or even village in France, you'll see exactly the amount all the more an everyday part in life is played by the Mairie (town hall) than the proportionate in a British town.
- Going to French business institutions is also interesting, as you'll typically observe an very different take on life, including the rights of workers, attitudes to pricing and competition. Social structures and advantages in France also reflect these differences immensely, as students see when look at things such as social benefits and health care provisions, for example, social advantages and human services arrangements. French people also have very different systems relating to things such as credit, for example, credit, finance in general and savings.
