The trips can include meetings with:
- government representatives
- politicians
- journalists
- diplomats
- NGOs and officials
All of which can give a rare and valuable insight in to the culture, politics and economics of the country of the language you are studying.
In addition to study trips there are also some organised language tuiton programmes that are either a formal, or informal, part of a course or programme.
