Historic Event Tours
Help your students appreciate what it means to be Canadian, and strengthen their sense of national pride, on our Historic Event Tours. EF's exclusive educational partnerships and deep local access ensure that you and your students are truly part of the action during unique events such as the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Students gain a new perspective on history, and their place in it, as they connect with cadets and students from across the country, participate in both public and private ceremonies, and rediscover the moments that shaped our nation.
What to expect on a historic event tour
Every tour gives students a first-hand perspective on Canada's role in the world—and inspires them to contribute to our future through:
-
Active Participation
Students become part of history and carry on the legacy of past generations during once-in-a-lifetime commemoration ceremonies and exclusive EF-led events with thousands of fellow Canadians.
-
Connections
Whether it's researching the life of a local soldier, honouring a hometown Regiment or connecting with international students before tour, students engage with the community at home and abroad.
-
Reflection
Group reflection through activities designed to engage travelers and reflect on the experience. Every itinerary is customizable to create a personalized and profound experience for your group.
-
Building Perspective
By exploring significant sites, visiting the graves of Canadian soldiers or taking part in special ceremonies, students develop a richer understanding of historic events and how they impact the present.
