Homestay+information

= **THREE NIGHT HOMESTAY WILL BE IN GERMANY THIS YEAR!** =

As you know, homestays are the cornerstone of People to People programs. Homestays fulfill the People to People mission to bridge cultural and political borders through education and exchange, making the world a better place for future generations. We are fortunate to have many different types of unique-stay experiences including Guesthouse stays, farm stays, home visits, home dinners, Minshukus in Japan…all of these different experiences serve one purpose; to create an opportunity for the students to get together with international families and their communities.

Each year we receive hundreds of inquiries from families and leaders about what they can expect from their experience; will there be children in the home? is it paired or not paired? The Travel Services team has worked hand in hand with our Worldwide Partners to create a homestay coversheet that explains more about __your__ specific experience. We ask that you please pass this information along to the families at your next orientation or bon voyage meeting. Attached you will find the homestay experience coversheet specific to your itinerary.

Should you have further questions please work with your AC’s, additionally our program support staff have been provided with this information and some common FAQ’s to assist you should further questions arise.

We want everyone to feel comfortable with their homestay experience and we believe these documents will be of a great assistance to you. We would love to hear how we can further improve knowledge around this subject, so please let your AC’s know if this was useful and what we may do differently in the future to ensure both you and you Student Ambassadors enjoy the best possible homestay experience.

Best Regards, The Travel Services Team
