On free weekend days during the program, you may elect to spend your free time exploring the FN city that we are in, or you may choose to travel to another city for a day or for the entire weekend.
- Independent Weekend Day Trip: Organized by students, involves traveling to and from the base FN city in the same day, to visit a nearby destination.
- Independent Weekend Excursion*: An overnight trip, usually to another country during a weekend. Typically involves leaving Friday evening or Saturday morning, and, in most cases, returning on Sunday evening directly to the next city in the program.
Students participating in an Independent Weekend Excursion must complete a Weekend Excursion Form prior to their departure. This is extremely important - FN staff must know the details of your excursion. Complete the form at www.forum-nexus.com/weekend
For each weekend, we are listing below the destinations suggested by Forum-Nexus. You have the following choices:
- To stay in the FN town that weekend and engage in local sightseeing or in day trips
- To plan a weekend excursion to one of the destinations suggested by Forum-Nexus
- To plan a weekend excursion to a different destination (subject to FN approval)
