Everyone at AIP has been fantastic and very helpful. All of my many questions have been quickly answered and I can definitely say they have gone out of their way to ensure my stay in Korea has been seamless and enjoyable.

Studying Spanish at Instituto Hemingway was unforgettable. The city feels authentic, not overcrowded with tourists, and everything is easy to walk. My school accommodation was just 15 minutes away, making daily life simple. Best of all, the Spanish course was dynamic, practical, and led by truly amazing teachers who made every class fun and motivating.

Kurz und knapp: Hokkaido! Für deinen Bildungsurlaub gibt’s einfach keine bessere Wahl. Die Möglichkeit ein Bildungsurlaub in Japan zu machen war einfach nur genial. Der Unterricht war vielfältig und die kulturellen Aktivitäten waren sehr gut geplant. Ich hab mich verliebt in diese Insel hoch im Norden Japans und schwärme jetzt noch davon wenn ich darüber nachdenke was für eine tolle Zeit dich dort hatte. Ich war in der Frauen Wohngemeinschaft und hab sehr gute Freundschaften geknüpft mit einer Koreanerin und zwei weiteren Japanerinnen. Die zwei Wochen sind wie im Flug vergangen und ich hatte sehr viele Möglichkeiten auch Japanisch außerhalb des Klassenzimmers anzuwenden. Ich empfehle auf jeden Fall auch in der Wintersaison zu kommen wegen dem Schneefestival und den guten Wintersportaktivitäten. Viele Grüße an alle und Bussi an meine liebsten. Hoffe ihr kommt mich besuchen in Berlin.

This was the best experience of my life. I had the opportunity to immerse myself in Argentine culture, meet many new people, eat amazing food, and learn so much at my internship working with promoting diversity and inclusion. Since day one, our coordinator, Brenda, was super communicative and very helpful throughout the whole trip. This was such a unique experience, and I will carry it with me forever!

Volunteering in the Art Therapy program at Instituto Hemingway was one of the most meaningful experiences of my time in Spain. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed into a supportive, professional environment where creativity was truly valued as a tool for connection and healing. The program allowed me to work alongside dedicated coordinators and inspiring participants from diverse backgrounds. Each session offered a safe space for self-expression through painting, drawing, and creative activities. It was incredible to see how art helped people communicate emotions they couldn’t always put into words. Even simple exercises often led to powerful moments of reflection, laughter, and personal growth. What I appreciated most was the human side of the project. The focus was not on artistic skill, but on the process itself — exploring feelings, building confidence, and strengthening social bonds. I learned how art therapy can support emotional wellbeing, reduce stress, and encourage mindfulness in a natural, accessible way. Every participant was respected, listened to, and encouraged at their own pace. The team provided clear guidance while also giving volunteers space to contribute ideas and interact directly with participants. This balance made the experience both educational and empowering. I developed new communication skills, deepened my empathy, and gained practical insight into how creative therapies are used in real community settings. Beyond the sessions themselves, the volunteering experience helped me connect with local culture and people in a very authentic way. It was deeply rewarding to feel useful, to share time with others, and to witness small but meaningful changes week after week. Each day reminded me that creativity can be a bridge between people, cultures, and emotions. I would highly recommend this Art Therapy volunteering program to anyone looking for a purposeful experience abroad. It combines learning, service, and personal growth in a unique way. I left with unforgettable memories, valuable skills, and a renewed appreciation for the power of art to heal, inspire, and bring people together.

This course has given me the opportunity to travel to Rome (my happy place) to connect with the Kappa school and start my career teaching English as a foreign language. I have absolutely no teaching experience, but I can now confidently go and grow in what I have learnt from this course. I am a registered nurse and I have family here in Australia - I have the support of my family to go and do something totally different. Yes I am nervous of trying something new, but this course teaches us how to navigate though and the support from the instructors and the admin has been exceptional. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to do something new!

My experience with MEI was life changing. I cannot recommend them enough. The teachers are some of the best I have encountered throughout high school and university. Every destination and experience enhances the curriculum, creating an education experience like no other.

I volunteered with Engineering Without Borders Argentina (ISF-AR) for a long time, and it was a wonderful experience—one I’d recommend to anyone who wants to meet local people, give something back to communities working to make the world a better place, or learn to build things with their own hands (or all three at once). You’ll find top-notch organization and preparation for day-to-day operations, visit underserved communities beyond the usual tourist destinations, meet so many people from different backgrounds, and take part in different teams depending on your interests. Along the way, you’ll very likely form some great friendships too. Overall, an excellent experience. Kudos to everyone who makes this possible. get to know so many people that come from so many different places

Good course, good information. Particularly found useful the example lessons.. The quizzes and assessments were well planned. It was useful to be able to redo, if the pass level had not been achieved.
