School exchange
Young people benefit from a stay in a foreign country. Apart from learning the language of the host country, they experience a different culture and environment, they develop an awareness and understanding of people from different nations and can contribute to a general international understanding.
Such an exchange needs to be prepared, and the following sites are intended to assist here. They offer a number of useful Internet resources on going to school abroad.
This is a selection, more pertinent information can be found in the Eduserver databases.
