Open yourself to the world through our exchange programs!
Échanges azimut is a service of Éducation internationale for students, teachers, and other staff from Québec’s educational organizations.
Our goal is to enable Quebecers and Canadians to enjoy high-quality cultural, linguistic, academic, or professional experiences abroad through the programs we have developed, as well as those we manage on behalf of the governments of Québec and Canada.
Our cooperative
Éducation internationale
Founded in 2001, Éducation internationale is a non-profit cooperative offering development and exchange services in education. It is mandated by the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec to internationalize the Québec school network.
By creating our cooperative, Québec’s school service centers, school boards, and educational organizations established a one-stop gateway to open the Québec school network to the world and help their students become global citizens.
Éducation internationale has been coordinating the international activities of Québec’s school service centers and school boards for over 20 years!

Your safety
To ensure the safety of its participants, consultants and staff, Éducation internationale has developed a range of risk management tools to prevent and be prepared for emergency situations if they were to occur.
Through its mandate with the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec, Éducation internationale is responsible for exceeding expectations in matters of international security and serving as a model within the school network. The Cooperative can take pride in what it has developed over the years to ensure the safety of its participants.
