    Chapter 01

    Begin with the question your group wants to answer

    SEDA Summer’s sector study tours are based in Dublin and shaped around the questions a school group wants to explore. Instead of starting with a packed itinerary, write down what students want to understand about a field and why it matters to their studies.

    Chapter 03

    Shape the visit around the brief

    The programme page describes these tours as tailored rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all itinerary. It lists a typical duration of 8 nights and says the group’s length and practical details are agreed with SEDA Summer. Confirm what can be arranged for your dates before presenting a plan as final.
