Spanish term

Estudiar y conocer

Spanish to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. literary
This is a title of a chapter of a book.

The content talks about a student who travels to many countries to study and by the way he learns the customs and language of the natives.

I am looking for a short translation that can express this context.

mobility (for) learning / learning through mobility

There are quite a few options combining the terms "mobility" and "learning", so I hope my suggestion is useful...

Example sentence:

Mobility for learning can take many forms: besides the typical Erasmus scenario, in which students do parts of their studies in another European country,

Learning mobility and non-formal learning in European contexts

studying, living and learning

“Conocer” is the action of getting to know. Since most of my language skills come from the activity the student does in the chapter, I find that the living part is crucial to expressing the essence of that experience.
Example sentence:

I studied abroad and got to know the culture

Yo estudie en el extranjero y ademas conoci la cultura

Study and learn

The term would be Learning "Aprender" .
Se aprende el idioma mediante las experiencias en este caso el viaje es una experiencia.
Example sentence:

Aprendí español en Ecuador
