Encourage and do an exchange!"},"content":{"rendered":"

At\u00a0dothegap<\/strong>, we begin 2019 charged with excitement and energy, with a mission to continue promoting unique educational experiences. As a first step, we’d like to encourage you to\u00a0do an exchange as your new years resolution<\/strong>. Let’s jump into the first post of 2019!<\/p>\n

Encourage exchanges, the mission at dothegap<\/h2>\n

Since launching dothegap, we’ve mentioned the benefits of exchanges and non formal education\u00a0<\/strong>a number of times. While we don’t want to repeat the same ideas, we want to make it clear that in 2019 we’ll continue working towards spreading this educational practice.<\/p>\n

Over the next 12 months, we resolve to see more and more people, associations, federations and other entities understanding that exchanges are much more versatile experiences<\/strong> than one might think.<\/p>\n

As we like to say, exchanging isn’t only an educational experience aimed at learning a new language<\/strong>. It’s not even about traveling abroad!\u00a0An exchange<\/strong> can be an interdisciplinary activity where you learn a new sport, trade or artistic technique different from your own.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Of course, this can be done within your own discipline, allowing you to learn new techniques and discover new resources to improve your skills. If you check out the blog, you’ll find examples of what we’re talking about and you’ll see that an exchange is a very broad concept<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Exchanges<\/strong>, from our point of view, help open your eyes, learn without even noticing and grow as a person. So,\u00a0how do we encourage this at dothegap<\/strong>? With a cutting-edge platform!<\/p>\n

Our work involves connecting people with an interest in organising or doing an exchange<\/strong>. The platform is a meeting point for educational centres, sports clubs\u00a0or associations who, after registering, upload their proposal for educational experiences.<\/p>\n
