About Taith

Taith is a Welsh Government-funded international learning exchange programme established to create life-changing opportunities for people in Wales to learn, study and volunteer all over the world.

Taith is for people in every part of Wales, and in every type of education setting. The sectors eligible for funding are:

• Schools
• Youth
• Adult Education
• Further Education and Vocational Education and Training
• Higher Education (covering Education and Research)

Taith is committed to reaching individuals and organisations who may face additional barriers to international learning exchange opportunities. We aim to improve access to international educational exchanges for people from underrepresented groups including Disabled people, people with additional learning needs, people from disadvantaged and ethnic minority backgrounds.

Taith promotes collaborations between Welsh and international organisations that enable two-way learning exchanges. Hosting people in Wales is a fundamental principle of the programme, with funding available to welcome learners, volunteers and staff from partner organisations around the world to Wales.

To learn more about our purpose, mission and objectives, please have a look at our strategy.

You can also find some examples of the projects that Taith have funded in the Stories section on our website.

Collaborative approach

Reciprocity is encouraged and the principles of reciprocity and shared learning are central to Taith.  We therefore have additional funding of up to 30% available, which applying Welsh organisations can request, to fund international partner activity.  

International institutions and organisations with established Welsh partners who are interested in supporting exchanges should get in touch with their Welsh partners to discuss whether they plan to send students overseas through Taith and to explore what opportunities there are for reciprocal exchange agreements.
