Our Story

The Exchange Journal was started by Bella Henry and Lara Brech in 2024 and is now in its third year of publishing. We focus on the broadening of horizons that student exchange enables — the culture shocks along the way, as well as the rewards and challenges of establishing oneself in a foreign country, language, and society. We welcome submissions from any UoE Go Abroad student during their exchange, in the form of drawings, poetry, articles, reviews, photography and creative writing. We are always keen to receive new ideas and suggestions too!
