Learning Outside the Classroom Personal development Communication New skills Team work Cross-curricular enrichment PGL is a signatory of the DCSF Learning Outside the Classroom manifesto which promotes learning beyond the classroom as being an essential part of learning and personal development for every pupil and student whatever their age, ability or circumstances. All PGL courses in France and Spain are designed to motivate young people to become increasingly independent and to foster a range of skills and personal development. The Excursion Day allows groups to make the most of their tour with visits to local places of historical or cultural interest. FUN!
