About this trip

From the formation of the Nazi Party (National Socialism) in 1919, the following tyrannies of WWII, through to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the events Berlin has witnessed have all left their mark on the capital, providing a wealth of learning opportunities for students. Our vast experience of organising educational trips to Berlin means we are best placed to provide you and your group with a truly memorable trip.

A Psychology and Sociology trip to Berlin encompasses not only the history of the capital city, but how the city has evolved today. School tours include understanding the psychology and sociological impacts of the holocaust and how such events have shaped the modern metropolis. Students will be able to learn with interesting and factual tours, whilst still enjoying the cultural aspects of what the German capital has to offer. Take a look at a sample itinerary below for your school tour.

    Set up in 1936 the Sachsenhausen became the blueprint for concentration camps across Germany and Occupied Europe. A visit to the memorial and the series of exhibitions spread across the site will cover themes such as: the origins of the camp; the system of control; the life of camp inmates; the use of violence and terror; mass murder; liberation.
  • Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
    Opened in 2005 the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is the German Holocaust Memorial honouring and remembering the up to six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The Memorial consists of the Field of Stelae designed by Peter Eisenman and the subterranean Information Centre.
  • Museum Otto Weidt’s Workshop for the Blind
    During World War II, visually impaired broom and brush maker Otto Weidt employed many Jews in his workshop. This museum is dedicated to him and is administered by the German Resistance Memorial Centre Foundation. It tells Weidt’s story with archival photos and interviews with some of those he saved.
  • Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation.
    The Documentation Centre Flight, Expulsion, Reconciliation is dedicated to the history of forced migrations from the 20th century to the present day and is an important place of remembrance and reminder that is well worth a visit. The permanent exhibition aims to explore the reasons for forced migrations in the twentieth century and whether these were political, ethnic or religious or, indeed, a combination of all three.
