All young people, whatever their individual situation, can go abroad, for a short or longer period of time, across the French border or to the other side of the world, affiliated to a programme or not, alone or with others.
It’s not always necessary to speak another language fluently, or to have personal funds or a contact in another country: you just need to research the options open to you based on your circumstances or legal status (student, unemployed, grant holder, minor, etc.).
There are many advantages for a young person going abroad, be it for personal or professional development.
