Barcelona-Based Learning Experiences for Groups and Older Students
iCollege Global creates short programmes for school and university groups, older students, gap-year students, and partner organisations.
Programmes combine life design, business, entrepreneurship, leadership, communication, culture, language and real-world exploration in Barcelona.
Overview
What is iCollege Global?
iCollege Global is the experience-based side of iCollege Life. While iCollege Academy supports flexible academic pathways, Global helps older students and groups explore life beyond school through short programmes, workshops, projects, and Barcelona-based experiences.
Students are encouraged to think more clearly about who they are, what they value, where they are going, and what kind of future they want to build.
Learning should not only happen in classrooms.

Why Barcelona?
Barcelona is an ideal city for international learning. It combines culture, history, sport, design, entrepreneurship, universities, creativity, and Mediterranean lifestyle in one accessible global city.
For students, Barcelona can become a living classroom, a place to explore ideas, independence, identity, and future direction.
