“At a time when competition has taken on a global scope, multiculturalism is becoming an essential tool for all young professionals. A live experience abroad is often that “plus” which makes the difference on one’s curriculum vitae. Speaking one or more foreign languages is a basic requirement for success. To enjoy genuine exchanges, one must at the very least understand the language of one’s partner, and be familiar with his culture, his way of life and style of thinking. To be sure, discovering the other is proverbially discovering oneself.
Without a doubt in 2007, France is fully assuming its role on an international scale; the reforms of the new five-year presidential term are moving at a clip; Europe is redefining itself and adapting to new realities. The American Congress has passed legislation and appropriations to substantially support education abroad….Who would have believed, barely five years ago China championing the French language in order to invest in Africa, Sochi hosting the winter Olympics, Toyota overtaking General Motors, Kraft buying out LU; the Louvre cropping up in Abu Dhabi? A new epistemology is upon us; technology is forging ahead; travel is open to everyone; emerging and adapted economies appearing on the scene.
Our aim is to encourage international mobility by offering new formulas and programs responsive to the changing socio-economic context.
We are convinced that such international exchanges, desired by governments, international organizations, and businesses, are the greatest asset available to pave the way for tomorrow’s world. That is why Aquarius, having fine-tuned its expertise in these exchanges, endeavors to fully participate in this movement by further increasing its activity.”
