The high school exchange programs in Denmark are traditional immersion programs with a homestay. With these exchange programs, students have the opportunity to jump head-first into the Danish culture while attending a local high school.

On the weekends, explore nearby countries or other parts of Denmark.

Background: Nurses globally need to provide culturally sensitive care for an ethnically diverse population. Competencies on how to do so should start in basic nursing programs. A useful strategy is through immersion into another culture through an exchange program. Little is known about successful strategies for two-way or 360 exchange programs between schools from different countries. Guided by experiential learning theory, we developed an exchange program with the objective of enhancing nursing students' cultural competence through knowledge building, attitudes and behaviour development. Lessons learned and implications for educational institutions and policy are discussed.
