WHO WE ARE:

 

Edu-Culture International is a nonprofit organization based in Berkeley, California with additional offices in France, Spain and Costa Rica. We are dedicated to promoting intercultural understanding between young people throughout the world.

Our staff and volunteers are highly trained professionals with a background in education. Every member of the ECI team has a strong commitment to ensuring that our programs are, in every respect, safe, of exceptional quality, and – of course – fun for teens.

Each of our summer trips has a maximum of 30 students with 3 full-time experienced chaperones. Our chaperones are selected on the basis of language ability, maturity, patience, judgment, enthusiasm, personal integrity and their ability to earn the respect and trust of our teenage participants. Most of them are high school Spanish or French teachers who have traveled abroad extensively, and all are committed to giving each individual participant an enriching, fun and SAFE experience.

 

OUR IMMERSION HOST FAMLIES – A UNIQUE FEATURE OF OUR TRIPS:

 

 


Immersion Host Families are chosen personally ECI in conjunction with our large network of high school teachers with whom we work in Spain and France. These families are often comprised of mother, father and, many times, teenagers. When students live with these families, they spend their time interacting with the family, the family’s children and friends of the children. This is an excellent opportunity to become immersed in a country’s traditions, language and culture, while at the same time forming lifelong friendships. Students stay one to a family, other than in cases of extenuating circumstances.
