GEP: Your Partner for Global Education and Growth
Travel the world, discover new cultures, and build a global network of friends and colleagues.
Word of the Director
"At GEP, we believe that education is most powerful when it moves beyond the classroom. Our programs are designed to challenge students, spark curiosity, and encourage meaningful engagement with the world around them. Through cultural exchange and language immersion, students not only build academic skills but also develop resilience, empathy, and a deeper understanding of themselves and others. Morocco offers a rich and unique environment for this kind of transformative learning, blending history, language, and tradition in a setting that invites exploration and growth."
"I strongly encourage every student to step out of their comfort zone and experience the world in new ways. Educational travel is not just about visiting new places, it’s about expanding your perspective, building global connections, and learning through real, human experience. Welcome to GEP, where learning meets the world."
Ichrak Touri
– Director, Global Exchange Programs
Our Story
Bridging cultures, changing lives. This is our purpose.
At GEP, we envision a world where Morocco is no longer just a name on a map, it’s a living, breathing experience known and cherished by people across the globe. Although Arabic is one of the most widely spoken languages, it remains underrepresented in global engagement. With over 274 million Arabic speakers today, we believe that by increasing even a small percentage of that through meaningful cultural and educational exchanges, we are creating lasting impact.
We want the world to see Morocco, not just read about it in a brochure. To feel its warmth, not just hear about its hospitality. To stand in its breathtaking landscapes, walk through its ancient medinas, and experience the richness of a culture that is both deeply rooted in African heritage and uniquely influenced by European elegance.
Our vision is that within the next 10 years, the name “Morocco” is recognized, respected, and spoken by every traveler, student, and cultural explorer across the world. In 20 years, we dream of people from all continents choosing to live, study, and thrive in Morocco, not just as visitors, but as part of a growing global community. GEP aspires to be the bridge between this nation and the world, a portal through which language, culture, and identity are shared, experienced, and celebrated.
This project matters because it is not just a program, it is a purpose. It is about more than numbers, growth charts, or profitability. It is about legacy, identity, and impact. After 14 years in the field, when people ask what we do, the answer is simple: we change lives. And that’s why this matters, not just to me, but to all of us at GEP.
