Nacel, an international organisation, was established in France over 40 years ago. The teachers who established the organisation in 1957 adopted a logo, a balloon basket or 'nacelle' in French. This logo symbolises discovery and adventure as shown by the early explorers. The students who participate in Nacel programs possess the same desire to experience and study other cultures.
By travelling overseas or hosting an exchange student, young people of different nationalities are given the opportunity to become acquainted with another culture, its language, heritage and values. Nacel is convinced that the best way to understand another way of life is to be part of a family. When you become part of a family, you have the rare and valuable opportunity of experiencing life from the inside rather than viewing as a tourist. The language you have learned comes alive as you make new friends, share your culture and discover new things about yourself and the world.
When you return, the benefits include greater self-confidence and a better awareness of the world we share. Your communication skills and personal growth give you a competitive edge in pursuing educational and career goals, and you are better prepared to contribute as a world citizen.
