The main goal of the People to People is the placement, support and implementation of host families for young American people (grades 5-12 ) in Europe. During home stays American boys and girls spend 2-3 days with host families throughout Europe getting a unique insight into the culture and language of each country.
Mission of the initiative is bringing together different ways of life in an informal atmosphere. Through these cultural and personal exchanges of young people in different countries an intercultural understanding can be promoted and prejudices reduced.
A Bruno host student reports: “Mine was a beautiful experience because I got on well with my partner, Chloe. Talking to her I found out that life is easier and cheaper in the States, where people have nice houses and many cars. She loved Italian foods:Chloe usually has fast food in America” (F.G.)
