Study Trips
Our study trips are an opportunity to take part in a unique learning experience about the Bosnian genocide, history, and culture. Participants will be challenged to think critically about the genocide and its contemporary relevance to us here in the UK today.
We usually run one week-long study trip per year but are planning to do more from 2023 onwards due to an influx of requests. During the study trip we visit relevant historical sites, meet and speak with survivors of the Bosnian genocide and we also invaite you to learn about the programmes and initiatives that are currently in place in Bosnia that aim to deal with this difficult past.
The trips are self-funded and BGET organise all travel, accommodation and activities. We like to keep the group numbers relatively small so that we can maintain a more intimate experience. Detailed itineraries are provided upon confirmation of place on the study trip.
Participants will have the opportunity to attend workshops before and after the study trip.
Please get in touch if you would like more information or have any questions.
Our Study Trip Reflections offer powerful personal insights from students, educators, and community members who have taken part in our educational visits to Bosnia and Herzegovina. These reflections capture the emotional impact of bearing witness at sites of genocide, and highlight the transformative learning that takes place through direct engagement with survivors, memorials, and local communities. They serve as a valuable resource for deepening understanding, encouraging empathy, and inspiring action.
Our Educational Trip Fund 2026 will support young people, educators, and community members to take part in transformative visits to Bosnia and Herzegovina. These visits provide a unique opportunity to learn directly from survivors, visit sites of genocide, and engage with the country’s rich culture and history. Through this fund, we aim to make these life-changing experiences accessible to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity — ensuring that education, remembrance, and solidarity remain at the heart of our mission.
“What I found was indeed a beautiful land of mountains, rivers and forests, and rich culture and history on every corner. Signs of a vibrant, multi-ethnic and multi-religious society were everywhere. But sadly, also signs of conflict and wounds yet to heal.”
