The document discusses a research trip to Paris taken by students. It describes how the trip benefited the students by exposing them to Parisian culture and scaffolding a literature research project. This experience resulted in students considering further education opportunities. As both students and researchers, the group was able to experience the trip from different perspectives and build informal relationships where they could offer advice to the students. The trip also helped the post-graduate students learn about themselves and gain confidence in their own academic careers.
