Host Families
→ Short stays (six weeks) or long stays (one academic semester ) ←
We are looking for families in Pamplona interested in hosting international students for short-term (six-week) and long-term (one academic semester ) stays. Hosting an international student is an extraordinary opportunity for Spanish families to discover new cultures. Families will help students improve their Spanish and allow them to immerse themselves in local customs, cuisine, and traditions.
Host families offer students a home where they can feel comfortable, supported, and welcome from day one. Life together is based on trust, respect, and friendship, making students feel at home and allowing them to participate in daily life with the same rights and responsibilities as any other family member. All families are welcome to take part in this experience, whether they have young children, older children, or no children at all.
Once the form has been submitted, if the family meets the requirements, we will contact you at contact to inform you of the next steps and the documentation you will need to submit.
What You Need to Know to Become a Foster Family
SPEAK SPANISH FLUENTLY
Spanish should be the main language in the home, since one of the students' goals is to improve their command of language and learn about Spanish culture.
LIVING NEAR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The housing must be conveniently located so that the student can get around on their own.
HAVING A PRIVATE ROOM
Students must have their own room so they can have their own space and privacy. A private bathroom is not required.
OFFER COMPREHENSIVE accommodation , AND MAINTENANCE
The family must provide the student with accommodation and meals throughout their stay.
INTEGRATING THE STUDENT INTO FAMILY LIFE
It's important for them to feel like another member of the family and to take part in the day-to-day life of the household.
DISPLAY AN OPEN AND WELCOMING ATTITUDE
The family should be interested in sharing its culture and customs, helping the student integrate, and supporting him or her in learning Spanish.
ASSISTING STUDENTS UPON THEIR ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
The family must pick you up upon your arrival in Pamplona and also see you off on the last day of your stay.
