In recent years, the globalization has raised the interest in the overseas experiential learning. Overseas experiential learning has been playing an important role by learning from various cultures which enables the students to achieve the global insights and leadership. However, the regulations have not been properly established, and Ministry of Education tend to recommend not to travel abroad without a special purpose. The results were found that teachers seek the exchange program with the local students in the partner country, and, overall, the cost-effectiveness was relatively low. Also, with the fact that the revisit was not recommendable, the satisfaction of the previous activities has been questioned. Teachers agreed with the critical points on career development of middle school and high school students, and positively rated the suggested prototype of oversea experiential learning based on career education.

This paper explores the APEC Edutainment Exchange Program (AEEP) as a model for international student exchange. This program has been conducted in the APEC region since 2007 to respond to the increasing international demand for youth exchange. The AEEP is based on PBL (project based learning)- oriented experiential learning, and includes multinational team activities with support systems formed by human and physical resources. Accordingly, this paper reviewed prior research on international student exchange programs and experiential learning, as well as the AEEP. While the AEEP cases reviewed here focus on the participants in the Asia-Pacific, this paper demonstrates the potential of this program to be applied to similar situations elsewhere.
