Undertaking an exchange with, or job shadowing a fellow professional in another country gives a unique insight into education in the country concerned. There is no doubt that these experiences can be challenging, but the rewards can be considerable. Not only is there substantial professional experience to be gained but also very often long term friendships are formed.
