The article highlights one of the newest forms of education in the mentioned period in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, namely educational journeys. These journeys became an important part of the educational program for the noble youth. Peregrination did not involve studying in a specific educational institution. The journey often took place parallel to institutional education or even without it. Besides knowledge, these journeys expanded cognitive horizons, social capital was accumulated, and contacts with representatives of the European elite were established. It is noteworthy that this expensive event contributed to preparing the nobles for future political careers.
The educational component of life in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of the XVI-XVIII centuries, which included some Ukrainian lands, had its own hierarchy. Its first degree was home education. Gradually, parents and the younger generation began to get used to the idea of upcoming separation. After the young nobleman began to attend an educational institution (the nearest geographically Jesuit collegium, taking into account the confessional peculiarity of the territory), the family mentally prepared for a new step – a trip to Europe to get education and acquire practical skills.
The author also noted that the most extensive academic travels are represented in parental instructions. As a result, it became possible to present certain peculiarities of European society's development. It is mentioned that this issue is scarcely covered in Ukrainian history of pedagogy. Instead, it has attracted and continues to attract lively interest among Polish researchers.
