Cultural Exchange Programs

In September 2009, WITC hosted students and instructors from two schools in Frankfurt, Germany. The following spring, six WITC students and two instructors visited the Franz Böhm Schule (FBS) in Germany. In October 2012, students from FBS participated in a cultural exchange at WITC-Superior. In the spring of 2013, WITC students and instructors will travel to Germany for 10 days to visit the FBS school.

Early Childhood Education Study Abroad Program – May 2013

WITC’s early childhood education students will travel to Scotland to explore the early childhood field there. They will stay at Dalkeith House and visit a variety of child care centers, plus learn more about world-renowned “Nature Kindergartens.” They will also connect with students and faculty in the early childhood program at Jewel & Esk College.

The study abroad program fits with WITC’s early childhood education program mission to prepare students to be early childhood professionals with a global perspective. The trip will foster greater cultural awareness.
