School outings and trips have a quite specific educational, didactic and social value. They are school activities. They must therefore have a clear connection with the social, pedagogical and/or didactic objectives of teaching and be prepared and followed up in classroom activities. As far as possible they should be European in nature and should be organized across the different language sections in a school.

Pupils are obliged to go on school outings and trips. In special circumstances and for duly substantiated reasons this obligation may be waived.
