Paraguay Cultural Exchange is an agency that has successfully sent over 3,000 young adults, university students, and graduates around the world through its cultural exchange programmes since its inception.

1. Can you elaborate a little more on who you are and how Paraguay Cultural Exchange started?

Sady Sosa and Guillermo Pereira, two visionary young Paraguayans that participated several times in the Work and Travel U.S.A. program, saw the opportunity for more young people to join cultural exchange programmes. Thus, they decided to create a powerful company and brand, Paraguay Cultural Exchange, known for its warm and excellent individual attention.

After five consecutive years of sustained growth, establishing as the leading cultural exchange agency in Paraguay. Its portfolio includes:

• Work and Travel U.S.A.
• Internship – Trainee U.S.A.
• Work and Study Ireland
• Work and Study Dubai
• Languages Study
• Au Pair U.S.A

2. What excites you the most about sending students to participate in work and travel programmes abroad?

For a country like Paraguay, it’s important that young people go to other countries for work and languages because it offers them unparalleled opportunities for personal growth, cultural immersion, and global understanding. We think that the experiences they made outside our country will increase it real possibilities of development.

These programmes foster independence, adaptability, and a broader worldview. Seeing students return with new skills, lifelong friendships, and a deeper appreciation for different cultures is incredibly rewarding. It’s gratifying to know we’re helping to shape globally minded, confident individuals ready to thrive in an interconnected world.

3. How do you ensure the safety and well-being of participants while they are working and travelling abroad?

We ensure the safety and well-being of our participants by providing thorough pre-departure orientations covering health, safety, and cultural norms. We partner with reputable institutes and organizations abroad that offer secure accommodation and 24/7 support. Participants have access to emergency contacts and regular check-ins. We also encourage comprehensive travel insurance and maintain open communication channels for any concerns. Our dedicated team is always on standby to assist with any issues that may arise until their returns to Paraguay.

4. What kind of support do you offer participants before, during, and after their trip?

Before their trip, we provide detailed orientations, visa assistance, and travel arrangements. During the program, participants receive ongoing support through regular check-ins, local contacts, and 24/7 emergency assistance. We also offer resources for cultural adjustment and troubleshooting. After their return, we facilitate debriefing sessions, and opportunities to share their experiences. This comprehensive support ensures participants have a fulfilling and safe experience from start to finish, with the appreciation of our commitment to be by their sides before, during, and after their trip.
