Abstract:	In this article we report qualitative and quantitative analyses of 120 high school students’ learning processes during exchange programs emphasizing multicultural, anti – racist education in various Canadian cities. We found five topics of learning and six learning processes common to these exchanges; determined that students perceived significant changes to have occurred in reference to their personal, psychological knowledge and skills (but not their capacities to act in local societal contexts); and documented certain effects parents and teachers indirectly associated with this program perceived to have appeared after the program was completed. Our findings suggest the value of schools continuing similar exchanges across Canada as well as developing locally based policies and programs for multicultural education and long – term, grounded approaches to evaluating these innovations.
