Gap Year is a long-term trip for young people in western countries before going to school or work after graduation, which allows students to experience a lifestyle different from their own social environment before entering the society.
In the gap year, students leave their own country to travel, usually doing some professional-related work or volunteering for some NGOs. This can cultivate students' international outlook and positive attitude towards life, learn survival skills and enhance students' self-awareness, so as to find the job they really want or find a better job and better integrate into society.
A substantial gap year can broaden people's horizons, learn more about local culture, learn more extracurricular knowledge, reshape the world outlook and help them observe the world from multiple angles.
