My WEP Exchange to Spain!

Before I leave Spain I just wanted to send you all a big thanks for this unforgettable opportunity. It's been amazing, stressful at times and scary but for the most of it it's something I don't really want to leave behind.

So far exchange is going really well. I definitely did struggle with home sickness and settling in to a new family, but I am now happy and loving it.

Love Christmas? Experience it in Canada!

"My host family are the most amazing people ever! It's incredible how welcoming they are and they are HUGE with Christmas. They cut their own tree and make gifts for each other. They made an incredible ginger bread house too, which we will begin to eat when the holidays start." Andy - short-term to Canada.

Meet our Students!

Every year WEP brings people from around the world together in the hope to broaden their horizon, learn about another culture and promote cultural exchange and peace across communities. Once again, we have students arriving in July, impatiently waiting to hear from a welcoming family they can call their own and learn about the place they will soon call home.
