Study Abroad: Not Just for the Kids Anymore

Ubiquity International announces study abroad programs for adults and families; first offered in Aix-en-Provence, France.

Piedmont, CA (PRWEB) June 12, 2007 -- Time was when parents would send their high school-aged children and then their college-aged children abroad to immerse them in language, art, history and culture. Times have changed.

"Adults are craving the experience of study abroad," said Thomas Talboy, founder of Ubiquity International. "Sometimes with the children, but they do not want to go to school."

Recognizing the growing number of adults who are spending time in destinations such as the south of France and South America, Ubiquity International has responded by offering something unique to them. "Adults who are already planning to be in their favorite destination can connect with us to create a special program of language, art, history, culture, cooking -- whatever it is that strikes their fancy," Talboy said.

Ubiquity International's first study abroad program for adults and families will be available beginning September 3, 2007 in Aix-en-Provence. Chrissy Nichols, Ubiquity International's Assistant Director for France, says, "Our society's conception is that study abroad is for high school or college students. That's simply not true anymore. More and more adults are looking for cohesive and exciting continuing education. They want something more than night-school. They crave a practical, multi-sensory experience like living in another culture, and some of them want to be able to take their children. Study abroad programs such as those offered by Ubiquity International are the perfect answer to this need."

Nichols has served as a Ubiquity International's Cultural Specialist in France and works closely with Talboy to develop programs that are stimulating and rewarding. She adds, "As the world gets smaller, people of all ages want to 'try on' other lives, cultures, and environments. Study abroad programs for all ages make that dream a reality."

Ubiquity International has been offering pre-designed tours for students, families and adults since 2004. "Now with the study abroad program for adults, travelers can have access to our expertise anytime of the year for as many weeks as they want," Talboy added. "Our adult and family study abroad participants can finesse their program by adding special offerings or they can work with us to create a program for their particular group, be it a church group, alumni group, gay group -- the sky's the limit," he said.
