Gap Year

Introduction :

I’m going to talk about the notion spaces and exchanges.

First of all, I would like to give you a quick definition of this notion.

We can see this for the Gap year because it's a break in student's studies and during this time the student can go all around the world, can work or be voluntary for an association or other projects.
