Gap Year
A chance to step outside your comfort zone.
A gap year is a chance to step outside of your comfort zone and explore a new country, a new culture, and even a new language! Our unique gap year programs and customizable options mean you can turn the gap year you’ve been dreaming of into a reality.
Experiential Learning Program
A Gap Year is an experiential learning program that offers a perfect opportunity to learn Spanish in ´real-life´.
By doing an internship or volunteering, you are putting yourself in an authentic Spanish environment resulting in both complete linguistic and cultural immersion. By engaging in community service and local projects, you immediately immerse yourself with the language, practicing understanding and speaking as you go.
Volunteering [more info here] :
This option not only enhances your language skills but also allows you to connect with native speakers, build cultural awareness, and develop a deeper understanding of the community and culture you are working in, whilst lending a much appreciated hand.
Internships:
This option in particular offers a unique chance to apply language skills in a professional setting, where you can work alongside experts, participate in meetings, and contribute to meaningful projects and put to use the new language you are learning. Whether working on local initiatives or collaborating with professionals, these experiences offer a dynamic way to learn and grow in both personal and professional aspects.

"The highlight of my experience was that I learned to manage myself. I was so afraid before I came here, because I was coming alone to live in a new country, but everything worked in the end! Having to deal with daily problems, especially with apartment issues, it made me grow personally. Also, everything is so different from Germany! People here are so calm and relaxed, for example if you arrive late, it is not a big deal! Moreover, people are much nicer, a lot of people use the word “cariño” even to people they have just met!"

"I decided to take a gap year to explore new opportunities before I go to university. Attending EuroACE was such a cool experience not only because I got to learn Spanish from native speakers, but also because I got to live abroad in Valencia. I stayed with a wonderful host family, met people from all over the world, and got to experience the Fallas. I feel that I have really grown as a person and made many memories through EuroACE, all of which I will take with me to University."
