Research on educational travel has shown significant student outcomes for personal, academic, and professional growth. However, there are financial and cultural barriers that make it harder for some groups of students to participate in programs such as study abroad and shorter-term educational travel. This article examines the unique challenges and opportunities for first-generation and low-income students in these programs. It analyzes a short-term (10-day) educational travel group of exclusively first-generation participants, including three students, a faculty member, and an administrator, studying social mobility in Denmark. Coauthored by a faculty member and student from the trip, the article qualitatively reflects on student gains in personal growth, social connectedness, professional skills, and sociological knowledge. The article concludes by advocating for more targeted programming in recruiting and supporting first-generation students in educational travel.

对教育旅行的研究表明，学生在个人、学术和职业发展方面取得了显着的成果。然而，经济和文化方面的障碍使某些学生群体更难参加出国留学和短期教育旅行等项目。本文探讨了这些项目中第一代和低收入学生面临的独特挑战和机遇。它分析了一个由第一代参与者组成的短期（10 天）教育旅行团，其中包括三名学生、一名教职员工和一名管理人员，他们在丹麦研究社会流动。这篇文章由旅行中的一名教职员工和学生共同撰写，定性地反映了学生在个人成长、社会联系、专业技能和社会学知识方面的收获。
