In many occasions, it is where the group is going to live together, and it is usually the last time that the members of the group will meet, since many will take different paths.
The selection of destinations for end-of-year high school trips.
The fairest and most democratic way to select the destination for a high school trip is through proposals and voting.
High school students are often very clear about the destination they want to travel to. For this reason, discussion among them is a good way to foster communication and watch the group make decisions.
Sometimes the travel destination is set by the school, to ensure continuity of learning at the school.
