Welcome to our world

WorldWise is an academic exchange agency based in Paris, France, since 2024. Our goal is to offer you, recent graduates, digital nomads or students currently enrolled in any Higher Education institution, a unique framework to engage in one of our Free Moving opportunities, allowing you the freedom to choose you own academic paths and fully immerse in new academic and cultural environments.

By promoting semester-based programs that emphasize collaboration and cultural immersion, we aim to cultivate a generation of youths who understand the value of unity and the strength found in diversity. Through shared academic projects, neighboring and cross-cultural dialogues, our students become ambassadors of cultural exchange, bringing back valuable knowledge, connections and life experiences to the countries you are based in and identify as your home.

As you study at prestigious universities worldwide, you carry and defend the principles of mutual respect and cooperation. You become part of a global network of scientific knowledge and integrative understanding, laying the groundwork for a more interconnected and empathetic generation.

At WorldWise, each partnership we establish is driven by our commitment to weaving a global community through education. We envision a future where the exchange of culture and expertise breaks down barriers and nurtures a collective pursuit of wisdom and of both interpersonal and social sensitivity, building a more peaceful and harmonious global society.

Join us in our mission to connect the world through education. Together, we can build a future where the bonds of knowledge and culture bring us closer, creating lasting connections that transcend borders and historical barriers while fostering global cooperation.

Meet the Founder

My name is Carolina Pessoa, and my academic and professional journey has taken me across multiple continents, enriching my cultural sensibility and experience in diverse environments. Moreover, my studies spanned various subjects, providing me with a broad and interdisciplinary perspective on the world and on human relations.

I pursued Higher Education in Brazil, Russia and France, attending academic institutions such as the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, where I studied a Bachelor's degree of Law; Peter the Great Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic University, where I successfully completed a Foundation Program in Russian Language and Civilization; the Faculty of Letters of Sorbonne University, where I graduated from a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages Applied to Translation in French, English and Russian; the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where I obtained a Master's degree in International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy; the Paris Cité University, where I graduated from a research Master's degree in Cross-disciplinary Psychoanalysis; and the University of Lorraine, where I completed a Master-level degree program in Political Executive-Office Management.

After working with the theme of International Cooperation in the political sector within the City Hall of Paris or at the French soft diplomacy operator, Institut français, I dedicated most of my professional journey to an international French Higher Education group within its headquarters, in Paris. In my roles as an International Coordinator and Chief of Project for Erasmus+ Professor Mobilities, I managed and facilitated international academic exchanges, as well as labeled double-degree programs and other forms of collaboration with partner universities abroad.

Passionate about Higher Education, immersive travel and cultural exchange, my curiosity drives me to continuously seek new opportunities for learning and growth, professionally, but above all, personally. Through my work and interests, my goals are to foster global education, meaningful human connections and interpersonal awareness across different landscapes.
