There are plenty of ways to have international experiences and gain intercultural competencies that don't involve a formal academic or professional commitment. You are welcome to organise your own activity that allows you to travel overseas. Among the options open to you are volunteering, field trips, short courses (i.e. language or summer schools), conferences and聽independent projects.
In many cases, these activities are facilitated by external organisations that may not necessarily be endorsed by 蜜桃AV, so it is important that you do your research carefully to ensure you have a valuable experience with tangible outcomes.聽
