A world of opportunity

Taith is an international learning exchange programme established to create life-changing opportunities for people in Wales to learn, study and volunteer all over the world.

We embed an international approach into every level of our education system. Taith is for people in every part of Wales, and in every type of education setting. The sectors eligible for funding are:

  • Schools
  • Youth
  • Adult Education
  • Further Education and Vocational Education and Training
  • Higher Education (covering Education and Research)

An opportunity for all

Taith is committed to reaching individuals and organisations who may face additional barriers to international learning exchange opportunities.

We aim to improve access for people from underrepresented groups including:

  • Disabled people
  • people with additional learning needs
  • people from disadvantaged backgrounds

Inviting the world to Wales

Taith promotes collaborations between Welsh and international organisations that enable two-way learning exchanges. Hosting people in Wales is a fundamental principle of the programme with funding available to welcome learners, volunteers and staff from partner organisations around the world to Wales.

Making an impact

Taith mobilities and projects seek to inspire learners and raise aspirations. Educators and staff projects should create immediate and lasting benefits for generations of learners. Taith creates opportunities to broaden horizons, experience new ways of life, and bring back lessons to share with people at home.
