VisitEDUfinn’s Study Tours
VisitEDUestonia organizes dozens of private and customized study tours each year. These study tours or educational tours are programs that take more than one day and include visits to different schools or other educational visits. Often the study tours – also called study visits or technical visits – include expert lectures or workshops about the themes that most interest the group. To understand Estonian education it is important to learn about Estonian culture. Therefore, cultural visits are very often included in the visit program.
It is important to have in mind that more than 80% of the costs of a study tour are fixed. This means that the expenses are practically the same for a group of one or thirty persons. Consequently, the size of the group has a huge impact on the price per person and bigger groups get always better deals per person than smaller groups. To have a rough idea of the costs, a study tour with five full day visit program, including school visits, expert lectures, workshops, educational visits, and cultural visits, will cost around 1000 euros per person for a group of 20.
