exchange program

Cross-border learning arrangement

An exchange program is an arrangement where people temporarily trade places with counterparts elsewhere—typically students or professionals who swap countries to study or work.

The exchange is usually reciprocal: She spent her junior year in France through an exchange program while a French student attended her school.

Such programs aim to foster cultural understanding and language skills.
