About us
About Global Education Network
Global Education Network connects students, universities, and host organizations through practical international experience. We arrange professional placements, design custom programs, and provide the local support that makes them work.
Our approach
Learning through real work
We believe students learn most abroad when they have real responsibility and take part in everyday local life. Working alongside local professionals, using another language, and finding their way in a new city builds skills and confidence that are hard to gain in a classroom.
Our job is to make that possible. We find the right organization, prepare everyone involved, and stay close enough to help when it matters.
Why Barcelona
An international city with a lot to offer
Barcelona is one of Europe’s most international cities. It is strong in design, technology, tourism, sustainability, and the creative industries, and it has a large international business community and an active nonprofit sector.
The city is bilingual in Catalan and Spanish, and many internship supervisors also speak English.
