Secondary school student exchange program
Italy

Direzione: l'Italia!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec and Éducation internationale are unfortunately forced to put on hold the secondary school student exchange programs for the 2022-2023 school year.

You go to school, you learn Italian, you discover the local culture and create friendships without borders! You welcome, host and feed your partner in Quebec for the first part of the exchange. Then, it's your turn to live the same experience in Italy!
