Wow, that is a good question on an international list.
In the US you are trespassing if you remain on the property after being
expressly told to leave by the owner or his agent, or if their are signs
specifically forbidding you to enter.
However, in some countries being on someone else's property without
specific permission is trespassing.
In a single conversation with a Swede on the Appalachian Trail several
years ago I was told that in Sweden they have a Right of Trespass law,
which says you can not forbid someone crossing your property. However,
he also said there were very harsh laws against vandalism.
So there are three totally different attitudes about it. What is
trespassing where you live?

In the UK, many school grounds are the subject of byelaws that prevent
trespassing and provide for quite severe sanctions for those who transgress.
Define trespass!
