GO TO EXPLORE OUR WORLD, WITH GOTOCO!

Explore TEFL, have an adventure, Learn about our world

Gotoco is a social enterprise aiming to improve cross-cultural understanding. We look to foster an inclusive global community through offering inclusive and accessible international cultural exchange and educational projects. Experience of work in other countries and cultural exchange will be vital for all our participants as they go on to become global citizens and leaders in our rapidly changing world.

What we care about

As a social enterprise, we focus on:

EDUCATION

We love education. Our programmes use innovative methods to create new opportunities for learning. Everyone on our projects can get experience teaching, get TEFL certified and help local students around the world.

ACCESSIBILITY

We are affordable. When our founders began their gap years and university holidays, the last thing they wanted to do was stay home for months saving up money for programme fees! We were founded to be accessible for all financial backgrounds. We think everyone should have the chance to travel and take part in projects like ours. We create an inclusive environment for diverse groups through our free, funded and convenient programmes. We draw funding from host programmes, universities and government bodies, so our participants aren't burdened!

SOCIAL IMPACT

We build bonds and bridges, across the world. Our participants go all around Europe and to destinations across Asia and South America. Sojourning for a few weeks, meeting local people, learning something of a 'foreign' culture and then coming home with an open mind, we believe these experiences will make a better world

Who are we?

We are not an anonymous corporate travel agent, we are a social enterprise, led by three best friends that first travelled together in China ten years ago and have lived and worked together since. We want to encourage more people to explore the world, like we did, to break the corporate mould and find much better and more interesting life and career opportunities. After a fantastic first decade in which we arranged for 2000+ people to join programmes in China, we have now expanded to cover destinations all around the world for short and long stays. Join us!
