Earlier this year, 15 Alberta teachers or administrators concluded a 10-day exchange that enabled them to experience teaching life in Spain, Germany or Iceland. In some cases, the exchanges began before the pandemic and have been on hold ever since. Here are some photos of exchange partners taken during their travels here in Alberta and their overseas postings.
