A '''field trip''' or '''[[excursion]]''' is a journey by a group of associated peers, such as coworkers or school students, to a place away from their normal environment for the purpose of [[education]] or [[leisure]], either within their country or abroad.

When arranged by a school administration for students, it is also known as '''school trip''' in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]], [[Kenya]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Bangladesh]], and '''school tour''' in [[Ireland]].

A 2022 study, which used [[randomized controlled trial]] data, found that culturally enriching field trips led students to show a greater interest in arts, greater tolerance for people with different views, and boosted their educational outcomes.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Erickson|first1=Heidi H.|last2=Watson|first2=Angela R.|last3=Greene|first3=Jay P.|date=2022|title=An Experimental Evaluation of Culturally Enriching Field Trips|journal=Journal of Human Resources|volume=59 |issue=3 |page=1020 |doi=10.3368/jhr.1020-11242R1|s2cid=246584945 |issn=0022-166X|url=https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/context/data/article/1072/viewcontent/auto_convert.pdf }}</ref>
