Exchanges

At ETSS Wicklow, international exchange plays an important role in supporting language learning, cultural awareness and student confidence. Exchange experiences help students build meaningful international connections, experience education beyond the classroom, and develop a deeper understanding of life in other countries.

What we offer

  • Erasmus+ partnerships that support international collaboration and student mobility across Europe.
  • Immersive, real-world learning through host-school experiences, shared classroom time and cultural activities.
  • PPLI language access for students who wish to study a modern foreign language outside the normal timetable.
  • Transition Year international trip that supports independence, cultural awareness and learning beyond the classroom (recent destinations include Berlin).
  • Opportunities that promote inclusion, confidence, independence and global citizenship.

A milestone for ETSS Wicklow

In March 2023, ETSS Wicklow hosted its first international, full-immersion language exchange, welcoming students and teachers from Institut Nicolau Copèrnic in Terrassa, Barcelona. Students attended classes together, took part in shared activities, and built strong friendships across cultures.
