School excursions serve several functions for schoolchildren. The aim of this research was to analyze the contribution of school excursions to the learning of cultural heritage by schoolchildren at the DJAVI Primary School in the commune of Adjarra, through the experience of the NGO CESAC-Tours. This research used a mixed-methods approach. The sample was constructed using the purposive selection method. Data were collected using an observation grid to observe schoolchildren during excursions, an interview guide for teachers at the DJAVI Primary School, site managers, and CESAC-Tours, and a questionnaire addressed to schoolchildren. Parsons' (1951) structural-functional model, based on the AGIL paradigm, was used to analyze the data collected from the various target groups. Following data analysis, the results revealed that school excursions contribute significantly (97%) to the learning of cultural heritage by students at the DJAVI Primary School and therefore constitute a means of ensuring widespread access to heritage.
