About the course

Intercultural Training for University Students (PART 2/3)
Travel is the art of meeting: meeting with yourself. In this second part we invite both those who are going and those who are staying to delve into their feelings during the exchange. What factors influence a quick and healthy adaptation? Hormonal, linguistic, physical, and behavioral issues are part of the complexity that lies ahead. Don’t embark without a good understanding of what is to come.
Available in English audio with options for subtitles in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Korean.

What makes this course different?
Moving to another country to go to college is not only a great opportunity – it is a challenge that can define the success of your academic and personal experience. After all, it is not just about learning a new language or attending classes in another country, but about building a new life away from home. And this adaptation can be much easier (and more rewarding) if you have the right resources within you.
Our training was created for those who want to arrive abroad with greater confidence, avoiding common mistakes that make adaptation difficult and frustrating. With a dynamic approach based on Intercultural Sciences (Intercultural Psychology & Intercultural Education), we teach how to deal with cultural differences, overcome social barriers, manage emotional challenges in the face of university pressures that take into account learning models different from yours, and transform any difficulty into growth.
You are about to experience the most transformative years of your life – and we help you do it in the best possible way.
