Exchange programs for students

Students all over the world dream of study, work or just life experience in another country. This experience is priceless and can be the first step on the way to a perfect carrier or a better life. Nowadays, there are many exchange programs which allow young people to spend a term or more in another country.

There is a high-school exchange in Campus Education Australia in Sydney. It is possible to apply for this program at any time of the year and stay in Australia from 9 weeks to 12 months! Applicants are free to choose a host family and even a school! Young people may study the language and have some fun in free time.

If you prefer Europe, there is a chance to go to France. AFS intercultural programs give a great opportunity to improve your French. You may spend a semester or a whole year in France, but not only in Paris. There are so many picturesque towns and villages there that you would definitely like to choose one of them instead of the capital city.

Although education programs are good and useful for sure, there is also a possibility to be a volunteer and help the environment in another country. For example, Nacel International offers such a program in Costa Rica. You will study there, too, but also work. You will plant trees, care about butterflies on a special farm, collect seeds and different fruits. However, this program is available only for those who have already studied Spanish for at least 2 years.
