School group mobilities in Bordeaux
A school group mobility should be more than a trip. It should help pupils speak, observe, understand and grow. We design programmes that combine language practice, cultural immersion and clear learning objectives.
European Teachers organises school group mobilities in Bordeaux and France designed as educational experiences, not standard tourist trips. Because our background is language teaching and cultural immersion, we design each mobility with educators in mind, so the trip becomes part of the school's educational project, not just a visit abroad.
Your school can apply for an Erasmus+ KA1 grant, so it may cover travel, accommodation and the fees of your school group mobility through the grant.
What we organise
Guided European learning experiences for school groups: language and cultural workshops, project-based discovery of Bordeaux, meetings and activities linked to your curriculum, and a parallel programme for accompanying teachers when you wish. Programmes usually run from two to five days and are built around one clear theme.
Our educational approach
Each programme is built around learning objectives, not only sightseeing. Before the mobility, we agree with you on the outcomes: what pupils should practise, observe and understand. During the stay, activities alternate structured workshops and guided discovery. After the mobility, pupils leave with concrete productions, vocabulary, observations, a project, that teachers can reuse in class.
Themes for school groups
Rather than a generic programme, we build your mobility around a theme:
Language and cultural immersion
Our facilitators can support pupils and teachers in French, English and Spanish, helping groups feel confident before, during and after the mobility. For classes learning French, activities double as language practice; for other groups, English-led activities keep everyone included while French remains part of the experience.
Why Bordeaux?
A UNESCO listed city on a human scale: walkable, safe, connected, with an exceptional mix of heritage, river landscapes, sustainable city projects and everyday French life. Discover why Bordeaux is an ideal city for educational mobility.
Why choose European Teachers for a school group mobility?
European Teachers is part of an educational group with experience in language teaching, French immersion and cultural programmes in France. This allows us to design school group mobilities that are more than standard trips: they combine language practice, cultural discovery and clear learning objectives.

Educational design first
Each programme is built around learning objectives, not only sightseeing. We help schools connect the mobility to language learning, cultural understanding and European citizenship.
Language support
Our facilitators can support pupils and teachers in French, English and Spanish, helping groups feel confident before, during and after the mobility.
Local cultural expertise
Through our links with a French language school in Bordeaux and a specialist in cultural immersion programmes in France, we design experiences rooted in real local culture: language, heritage, savoir-faire, arts, gastronomy and everyday life.
Safety, supervision and practical support
We keep programmes realistic, age-appropriate and manageable for accompanying teachers, with clear schedules, practical information and support throughout the stay. Depending on the age of pupils, learning objectives, dates and group size, we build a realistic programme with suitable educational, cultural and local partners.

Frequently asked questions about school group mobilities
What is a school group mobility with European Teachers?
A structured learning experience in Bordeaux for pupils and their teachers, combining language practice, cultural discovery and European citizenship activities, designed around your school's educational objectives rather than sightseeing alone.
Which ages and school levels can take part?
We design programmes for primary, lower secondary and upper secondary groups. Each programme is confirmed individually so that activities remain age-appropriate, safe and aligned with the school's objectives.
Do our pupils need to speak French?
No. Our facilitators can support pupils and accompanying teachers in French, English and Spanish, helping groups feel confident before, during and after the mobility.
Can a school group mobility be funded through Erasmus+?
Your school can apply for an Erasmus+ KA1 grant, so it may cover travel, accommodation and the fees of your school group mobility through the grant. We provide the programme, learning outcomes and documents you need for your application.
What does a typical programme include?
Language and cultural workshops, guided discovery of Bordeaux, project-based activities linked to your chosen theme, and clear schedules with practical information for accompanying teachers. Depending on the age of pupils, learning objectives, dates and group size, we build a realistic programme with suitable educational, cultural and local partners.
Can accompanying teachers have their own programme?
Yes. While pupils take part in supervised activities, accompanying teachers can join a short Erasmus+ workshop or a professional exchange session, so the mobility benefits the whole school community.
