Experience



Besides on the positive impact on the lives of the teenagers, EduAction is a life-changer for all its exchange participants, too.

Most people arrive without many expectations for their experience, they come to get to know the country, meet new people and try out a different living environment.

And then the bomb hits them.

EduAction is not just fun and games. It is serious work. You have to learn the language and face a lot of insecurities that come with speaking a completely new language in front of hundreds of scary teenagers… 20 hours per week for 8 weeks. In addition to that, there is the culture shock. You will find difficulties in the simplest things, like finding your home, understanding the traffic, etc. You will miss your family and friends, because all of a sudden, everyone you are with, are different from you.

And this is why you grow.

After seeing and experiencing everything in the project, there is no way to not care anymore. You will get to know yourself in wonderful, unexpected ways. You will find out that you are capable to do the unimaginable.

EduAction turns dreamers into true change agents, very valuable citizens of the world.
