"… The most useful part of the trip was visiting the schools, meeting teachers and administrators and talking with students in the their classes to see how they are doing… The most useful parts of the visit are the meetings where we are able to form relationships and friendships- trust so that we know our students will be well-taken care of…it really opened my eyes to the systems in Spain, allowed me the opportunity to form partnerships with institutions in Spain and eventually to send students to Spain to study."

Educational Workshop Programs in Spain
On behalf of the association EDUESPAÑA, we would like to extend a cordial invitation to participate in the 2010 Workshop Program for US Higher Education Institutions.
The primary goal of the program is to introduce our education institutions to those who are not familiar with the opportunities they provide to American students, and it offers a first-hand experience for those who are considering Spain as a destination for their study abroad programs.
The invitations are intended for university level foreign language faculty and administrators, study abroad program administrators, faculty lead-study abroad programs. The primary goal of this trip is to introduce our education institutions to those who are not familiar with the opportunities they provide to American students.
The program and itinerary will include meetings with Directors and Presidents of some of the most prominent public and private educational institutions in Spain, also scheduled visits to Universities and Centers in different provinces, where current programs for foreign students are being offered.
The 2010 Workshops will be taken place as follows:
- W1 : March 22-28
- W2 : June 14-20
- W3 : December 13-19
For your information see general conditions. If interested in participating complete and return the Study Abroad questionnaire/application.
After the review and approval of candidacy (one representative per institution), our office will arrange for your travel and hotel reservations according with the established travel schedule. Please take notice that might segment participation by geographical area to better organize the logistics of the trade missions.
Please keep in mind that if you are not a U.S. citizen, you may need a Visa to enter the European Union. This procedure may take about 15 days to process, and you will need
to contact the Consulate of Spain in your area to submit the required application.

Partnerships in Spain
You might be interested in establishing agreements with Spanish Institutions in terms of faculty and student mobility. Here are the most popular types of agreements:
Study Abroad programs: Courses are taken (usually for academic credit) in a foreign environment. These could affect students interested in taking courses at a foreign institutions either through direct enrollment or institutional exchange. Students may be payin
g to the home institution, however, the fee goes directly to the host institution.
Island programs: A group of US students receive instruction at an overseas institution (that might be the campus of a university). The courses are taught in English. The main disadvantage of an "Island" program is that usually they are not fully integrated into the campus life of the host country.
Student exchange program: The student is being exchanged to the foreign university (and is therefore taking courses with local students taught by local faculty). They choose to live in a foreign country to learn language and culture. The different institutions participating in the program will trade off students in this fashion, and the tuition fee goes to the home institution. The students live with a host family, who are usually unpaid volunteers and often have a child the same age who has also participated (or is going to participate) in a similar exchange program.
Faculty led study trips: Usually short trips to a foreign country in order to learn from the local culture on site. This tour is normally a part of a class or the course itself. The instructor leads the group of students and develops educational activities within the local environment.
International internships: An internship (or another type of experiential learning activity) that takes place overseas. Sometimes, the internship is combined with coursework at an academic institution located where the internship takes place.
