At Go! Go! France, we are a passionate team dedicated to helping dreamers like you from all corners of the globe turn their visions of living in France into a reality.

Go! Go! France is part of the larger Go! Go! World family. Here’s a look at the inspiring journey of Go! Go! World and its French counterpart.

The Birth of Go! Go! World

In 2009, after meeting and studying at a Japanese language school together, founders Davide and John started working on a project that would make the process of living and studying in Japan much easier. This vision led to the creation of Go! Go! Nihon, which quickly became a success, assisting over 100 students in its first year.

By 2010, the service had expanded to support students in multiple languages, including Italian, Swedish, and English. The positive reception and growing demand encouraged the founders to formalize their operations, establishing Go! Go! World in 2011.

Expanding Horizons

The success of Go! Go! Nihon paved the way for further expansions. By 2013, Spanish language support was introduced, followed by French and German in 2015. The organization’s commitment to helping students realize their dreams was evident as they hit the milestone of aiding 1000 students to study in Japan by 2015.

The following years saw the launch of Go! Go! Hanguk in Korea (2016) and Go! Go! España in Spain (2017). These new branches reflected the growing demand for quality study-abroad services in different countries. By 2019, Go! Go! World had helped nearly 4500 students, marking its 10th anniversary with record numbers.

Challenges and Resilience

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 posed significant challenges, with border closures affecting international student mobility. However, Go! Go! World adapted by introducing online learning courses, ensuring that students could continue their language learning journey despite travel restrictions.

We help over 500 students find the right study abroad options in Spain or Korea. Due to the ongoing border closures in Japan, Go! Go! Nihon launches https://educationisnottourism.com/ to drive awareness and to lobby the government to support international students to reach their goal of living and studying in Japan. The lobbying contributes to the borders re-opening for international students.

The Birth of Go! Go! France

In 2023, Go! Go! World expanded its reach with the launch of Go! Go! France and Go! Go! Italia. These branches were established to assist students from around the globe in fulfilling their aspirations to live and study in France and Italy.

The French branch was launched by one of our talented team members. Growing up in France, he completed a study abroad program in Japan and joined the company in 2020. He supported Go! Go! Nihon students with their language and education goals for over three years. Now, he oversees all Go! Go! France operations.
