kenttäretki

Kenttäretki is a Finnish term that translates to "field trip" or "excursion." It commonly refers to an educational outing organized by a school or other educational institution where students visit a location outside the classroom to learn about a subject in a practical, hands-on way. These trips are designed to supplement classroom learning by providing real-world experiences and observations.

The destinations for kenttäretki can vary widely depending on the subject matter and the age of the students. For example, a science class might visit a natural history museum, a forest, or a science center. A history class could go to a historical site or a museum. Art classes might visit galleries or attend performances. The goal is to make learning more engaging and memorable by connecting theoretical knowledge with tangible experiences.

Kenttäretki can also extend beyond traditional educational settings. It can be used to describe excursions organized by hobby groups, community organizations, or even for team-building activities within a company. The core concept remains the same: a planned trip away from the usual environment for a specific purpose, often involving learning, exploration, or recreation. Planning for a kenttäretki typically involves logistical considerations such as transportation, supervision, safety, and educational objectives.
