WEP Student Exchange Resources for Teachers
WEP's academic exchange programs are designed to fit into the Australian academic schedule and offer students between 15 and 18 years of age the opportunity to:
- live and study overseas for a summer, semester or year and
- mature, gain confidence, develop self-awareness and an increased interest and understanding of the world and international relations.

Scholarships
On an annual basis, WEP Australia awards a set number of scholarships to highly motivated, outgoing and mature students. In 2013 students in year 9, 10 or 11 are once again invited to apply for WEP's $3000 scholarship to Argentina or China! For more information, please click here.
Language Assistant Program!
WEP Australia is offering a valuable cultural exchange opportunity to Australian primary and high schools to assist qualified Australian teachers in contemporary linguistic and cultural classroom acitivities. Our participants are university students or recent graduates, who intend to pursue a career in education in their home country. This is an amazing opportunity for Australian students to experience a rewarding intercultural exchange and enabling them to have access to a native speaker in and beyond the classroom for a term, semester or even a year!
In return, schools provide our assistants with a stimulating and supportive full-time working environment, an opportunity to gain classroom experience, a reasonable standard of accommodation and meals. For more information, please click here.
'Languages are deeply intellectual and intensely practical. When you learn a language well you engage in the deepest manifestations of a cultural system.' Joseph Lo Bianco, March 2008
