OUR STORY

For over 25 years, we have facilitated student and faculty exchanges amongst our network of partners. We were founded on the belief that exchange, an effective tool for building cultural understanding, is fundamentally important to making ourselves and the world a better place. It’s our mission to provide affordable educational and cultural experiences, and we partner with others who share our commitment of helping students to explore the world.

We pride ourselves on the relationships that exist amongst our members. In addition to contributing to meaningful student exchanges, these relationships can spur faculty exchanges, research, joint classes, projects and other collaboration opportunities.
