New York – Bite into the Big Apple
New York embodies modern-day American culture like nowhere else, where you can watch your students embrace a dizzying array of things to see and do, like strolling through Central Park, shopping souvenirs in Macy’s, catching a Broadway show, or tasting an experience like no other in the immersive and cinematic Times Square.
Your school can focus on a city at the centre of international trade, with the city being one of three ‘Command Centres’ for the global economy, and where your students can understand the history of fundamental financial moments, like the economic crash of 2008, with a guided tour of Wall Street.
A Macy’s tour offers an expert-led overview of advertising, whereas Marketing is given a spotlight at Madame Tussauds, giving your class a unique insight into the operation and work practices within a variety of fields.
Interlace those discoveries with a poignant look at historical periods old and new, like the migratory past of Ellis Island, or the modern history of the 9/11 tribute museum, meaning your students can reflect on the challenging and tragic circumstances involved with both.
History seeps from the very pores of NY, with the Irish Hunger Memorial remembering the Irish Potato Famine and another place charged with representing the stimulating and thought-provoking stories of yesterday. The place gives your students even more chances to ask searching questions of the past, and how those circumstances are reflected in the present.
A 5-day tour of this cosmopolitan city is a must.
