A little Spanish before the trip
Someone planning a trip could practise Spanish with a member who wants ideas for Everyday Cooking. A conversation, a few useful phrases, and some meals worth trying at home.

An illustrative swap: Amara could help Tomas make sense of a spreadsheet; Tomas could help Amara work out what to plant on her balcony. Different skills, useful to both. Reciprocal swaps are always free.
No one to swap with directly? Learn one-way for 1 credit — and earn 1 credit every time you teach a completed one-way session. Credits move only when both members confirm the session happened.

WHAT EXCHANGES LOOK LIKE
Small exchanges, properly life-sized
Illustrative examples of the exchanges Skill x Swap is built for — at work, at home and just for yourself.
Two skills for the working day
Someone preparing to present at work could learn Public Speaking from a member who wants help with Microsoft Excel. In return, they could share spreadsheet skills for clearer reports. A free reciprocal exchange, with something useful for both careers.
The repair you’ve been putting off
A sticking cupboard door could be a reason to learn DIY & Home Repairs in a one-way exchange. The member teaching DIY earns 1 credit only once the session is completed and both members confirm it. They can then spend that credit learning Yoga from somebody else.

Every exchange adds to your Skills Passport — a record of what you've learned, what you've shared, and the people and places you've connected with along the way.
- Reciprocal swaps cost zero credits — always.
- One-way learning costs 1 credit.
- Teaching a completed one-way session earns 1 credit.
Skill x Swap for organisations
Your organisation knows more than its job titles suggest
Behind every team is an inventory of unknown skills; languages, crafts, technical tricks and hard-won experience. Skill x Swap gives that knowledge somewhere to go.
Workplace
A private, invitation-only community where your people share skills with each other — with exchanges and wallets kept separate from the Global community.
Programmes
A dedicated community for a cohort, course or programme — peer learning that keeps working between sessions and beyond the final one.
