Description of the practice
The experiences of both the exchange itself and the whole process of preparing for it are best told by those who took part in it. Organising meetings with students who have returned from the exchange would be an opportunity to learn about the various aspects related to the formal, practical and emotional side. It would be a space to ask questions, have an open and frank conversation and an opportunity to verify expectations. In addition, it could be combined with, for example, a photo-op.
Key elements of practice
1. Creating a platform where students could ask for help from a buddy.
2. Assigning a small number of ‘mentees’ to 1 buddy so that they can help calmly and with commitment.
3. Develop a buddy reward system.
