    🇨🇦 A few days ago, Marco Macchi from our Italian team had the incredible opportunity to participate in a special evening dedicated to higher education in Canada, organized by the Embassy of Canada in Italy in collaboration with ILAC Education Group. This event highlighted the diverse educational pathways available for students seeking to study in Canada. It was an enriching experience that not only showcased Canada as a premier destination for higher education but also strengthened our relationship with our Canadian partners. We're excited about the future collaborations and the chance to help more students embark on their educational journeys in Canada! #HigherEducation #StudyInCanada #WEP #Education

    As the summer season of our "Welcome Camps" draws to a close, we reflect on a series of successful mini-trips to New York and Toronto. 🇺🇸🇨🇦 These Welcome Camps offer participants a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in iconic cities, connect with fellow exchange students, and refine their English skills before integrating into their host families. By facilitating early connections and language practice, they set the stage for a successful and smooth exchange experience. We believe this initiative will significantly contribute to the overall success and satisfaction of our participants. 🌎

    👨👩👦👦🇲🇽🇧🇪 J’avais envie de vous parler de notre expérience d’accueil d’un étudiant étranger. Cette année, notre famille a eu l'immense plaisir d'accueillir un étudiant mexicain ici en Belgique, grâce à l'organisme WEP Cette aventure a été un véritable voyage culturel et humain, riche en émotions et en apprentissages. Au début, nous avions beaucoup d'appréhensions. Accueillir un étranger sous notre toit, c'était renoncer à une partie de notre intimité. Nous nous demandions si nous serions à la hauteur de cette responsabilité, si nous parviendrions à créer un environnement où il se sentirait bien. Le stress était d'autant plus grand qu'il ne parlait pas un mot de français à son arrivée. Notre étudiant, fils unique, a trouvé chez nous un frère et une sœur. Il a rapidement fait partie intégrante de notre famille. Même si tout n'a pas été facile, les moments de bonheur ont largement dépassé les moments de difficulté. Voir ses progrès en français, partager nos traditions, découvrir les siennes, c'était une expérience enrichissante pour lui comme pour nous. En Belgique, il a eu l'occasion de se faire de véritables et belles amitiés. Il a rencontré des personnes qui l'ont accueilli à bras ouverts, et ces nouvelles relations ont grandement contribué à son intégration et à son bonheur ici. Les liens qu'il a tissés perdureront bien au-delà de son séjour. Nous avons également créé une belle complicité avec les parents de Fernando. Les échanges ont été riches et chaleureux, et nous avons été invités à les revoir au Mexique lorsque nous en aurons l'occasion. Au fil des jours, une véritable histoire d'amour s'est créée entre lui et notre famille. Chaque jour qui passait renforçait notre attachement mutuel. Aujourd'hui, je suis fier qu'il considère que nous sommes sa deuxième famille et que la Belgique est son deuxième pays. Nous l'aimons comme notre propre fils, et il nous manque énormément maintenant qu'il est reparti. Il sait qu'il a une famille qui l'aime et une maison en Belgique où il sera toujours le bienvenu. Cette expérience nous a apporté une richesse humaine et culturelle inestimable. Nous avons gagné un fils "du bout du monde". Les liens créés sont indéfectibles et nous attendons avec impatience le moment où nous nous retrouverons. Cette aventure a été si belle et enrichissante que nous avons décidé de recommencer. Dans un mois, un nouvel étudiant, cette fois-ci du Brésil, viendra partager notre quotidien. Nous sommes impatients de découvrir une nouvelle culture et d'agrandir encore notre famille de cœur. Accueillir un étudiant étranger, c'est bien plus qu'un simple échange. C'est une aventure humaine qui transforme, enrichit et ouvre des horizons. Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette expérience à toutes les familles prêtes à vivre cette aventure incroyable #Famille #echange #amour Florence Hindryckx Veronica Zamudio Monsalvo
