Wyjście z klasą is a nationwide program that helps schools organize one-day visits to cultural and scientific institutions. For parents, this means real financial support and a well-planned day full of valuable activities.
The maximum subsidy per participant is no more than 300 zł. This can cover part of the costs for tickets, workshops, transport or a meal, so parents typically pay a smaller additional fee.
Deadlines and applications: the call for applications will be announced on October 27, 2025. The school will receive organizational information from the local authorities, and parents will get full details from the class teacher.
In practice the county (powiat) submits the application on behalf of the schools in its area. Parents receive from the teacher a participation declaration, the amount of any extra fee, and the list of consents to sign.
Kraków is one of the program's most popular destinations because it combines top-quality museums, memorial sites, theaters and family-friendly walks through the historic center. It’s a city that teaches through experience.
Mornings usually start with a meeting with the guide and a short introduction to the day's theme. Children receive simple observational tasks that help them take an active part in the visit.
The first block is a museum visit or an educational workshop. Activities are run in groups and adapted to age so children can engage with the topic, ask questions and understand the context.
After a break for a hot meal the group walks through the Old Town or Kazimierz. This is when the museum learning connects with what they see around them and the city becomes a living lesson.
In the afternoon the plan often includes a second stop — for example a special exhibition, a short demonstration, or a viewpoint. The pace is adjusted to the children and the number of stops is reasonable.
At the end the guide summarizes the day in simple language. Children return knowing they saw something important and able to talk about it.
Supervision is provided by teachers and additional caregivers according to school rules. The guide leads the group so it stays together and can hear instructions.
Each child carries a contact slip or the teacher’s phone number in their backpack. Meeting points are clearly marked and transfers between sites are short and safe.
The school provides group insurance according to its standards. The program emphasizes that protection costs should be included in the trip budget.
Parents receive the day's schedule, pick-up and return times, and information about the meal before departure. In exceptional situations the school notifies parents by phone.
Indoor alternatives are planned for bad weather. If needed, the day's schedule is adjusted so children stay dry, fed and happy.
The program helps cover key elements of the outing such as museum tickets, participation in workshops, transport, a meal and insurance. This lowers the parents’ expense compared with an ordinary trip.
The school informs parents in advance about any additional fee. Its amount depends on the route, the number of sites visited in one day and the chosen transport.
Souvenirs are not covered by the program. If a child has pocket money, it’s good to agree on simple spending rules so they focus on the experience rather than the shops.
Groups reserve tickets in advance to get school rates. That helps stay within budget and shortens queues on the day of the trip.
If the school has a support fund for families, the teacher will explain how to apply. It’s worth asking discreetly if the extra fee would be a burden.
Comfortable shoes, a warm sweater or jacket and a light backpack. Kraków is best explored on foot and that’s part of the fun.
A water bottle, a small snack and tissues. A meal will be provided, but small supplies can save the day.
A phone, if the child carries one, fully charged with the teacher’s number saved. For younger children a contact slip is sufficient.
Simple clothing without expensive accessories. It’s better for children to have free hands and nothing valuable to distract them.
A short chat before leaving about what they will see. Children listen more when they know the purpose of the trip and what to look out for.
Most Kraków cultural institutions offer facilities for people with disabilities. Notify the teacher in advance so the guide can adapt the route.
For sensory-sensitive children we plan shorter sections, calmer rooms and breaks in quiet places. Sharing needs ahead of time helps create a good rhythm for the day.
If additional caregivers or assistants are needed, the school coordinates this with organizers. Parents can add practical tips about what works best for their child.
If medication is required, remember to hand it to the teacher according to school policy. Medical points and toilets are always included in the plan.
Openness and early communication help children feel cared for and give parents peace of mind.
Children like someone who leads them clearly and with energy. Małgorzata Kasprowicz has experience with school groups and tells stories so both younger and older children listen with interest.
Routes are planned to match the curriculum and the group's abilities. That way the visit has educational value and fits the time and budget.
Ticket reservations, logical ordering of stops, breaks for a meal and a plan B for the weather are handled. Parents receive an organized schedule and children enjoy a day without chaos.
After the visit the class can receive a short follow-up task to consolidate what they saw. That helps bring the topic back to lessons and home.
