Being a host family
Being a host family for a student from another country is more than just a new experience. It is a constant human and cultural learning process that enriches both the students and the families. The process of adaptation for the young people who visit us changes completely if it takes place in an environment of affection and understanding, and this is achieved thanks to the good work of our collaborating families.
It is at final a great opportunity to open our homes to the world and create bonds of friendship that will last a lifetime.
