Learn. Experience. Connect.

Travel with Vive l'expérience for enriching authentic experiences around the world. Our mission is to go beyond the typical sightseeing trip: our participants meet and interact with local people and participate in hands-on workshops. Educators collaborate and design curriculum for use in the classroom upon our return. Travel programs are currently available for language teachers. We will soon offer teacher-led student trips, trips for teachers of various disciplines, and small-group adult trips for non-educators. 

RSVP for our next informational Meeting!
