Welcome to the website of the Service mobilità e scambi, of the Department of education of Canton Ticino (Italian speaking part of Switzerland).

In Ticino, the Service mobilità e scambi is responsible for the organisation and support of young participants in national and international exchange programs of students, apprentices and trainees.

Being one of the Italian speaking Canton within the Swiss Confederation sharing a large part of its borderline with Italy, Ticino is dominated by Latin cultural characteristics similar to those of neighbouring Italy.

The residential quality, tranquillity, public security, the beauty of its landscapes, the quality of the school and of health-care systems, make the entire region an extremely attractive place to live in.

The Alpine climate, together with Mediterranean conditions, creates a rich variety of flora and fauna in a very mild and sunny region.
