School Trips To Belgium

In Flanders Fields Museum

• View on Map

Located in the centre of Ypres this interactive museum allows visitors to follow the story of the war through personal testimony, exhibitions, videos & imagery.

In Flanders Fields Museum, the main aim is for students to know and understand their past but also their present-day world. Because remembering the war, even though it happened 100 years ago, is still relevant today. With this in mind they have developed some workshops for school children aged between 13 & 15 which we highly recommend for History study groups. These workshops include:

Home by Christmas

How ‘the big picnic’ evolved into the world’s First industrial war. Using posters, photographs, original artefacts and personal testimonies, the students will get a clear picture of what war is really about, both then and now. Workshops last around an hour.

Coming World Remember Me

This unique and emotive workshop allows students to create a statue for one of the soldiers who died in The First World War. Approximately 600,000 soldiers and civilians died or were fatally wounded in and around Ieper between 1914 and 1918. Each will be given its own small statue as part of the land art installation ComingWorldRememberMe. Each student who makes a statue, receives a personalized certificate and a stamped CWRM dog tag. Workshops last around 1.5 hours.
