"Working with Travelling U has been an incredible experience. As a project mentor and team coach for the International Business Programme at Shanghai Xing College, we collaborated with Travelling U for this Learning Journey in Spain. We have been long-term collaborators, working together to help students develop key skills such as cross-cultural communication, project organisation, and execution, all within an authentic international collaborative environment. Through our multicultural exchange programmes, we’ve been able to enrich the students' learning experience, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in the global business world."

Without the Travelling U teams in Berlin and Shanghai, our students’ academic success, personal development, and growth in teamwork would simply not be possible. This is a team defined by genuine care, talent, commitment, humanity, and enthusiasm qualities they bring to every action and every learning experience they create. What makes them truly special is that they continue to grow and enrich themselves year after year.With them, everything feels possible — and importantly, easier.
