"It was really nice to talk to her about her origins, the "simplicity" of Japanese writing and the colourful customs of our country. Seeing my kids talking to her in English as if she were a friend they had known for a long time helped us to understand how many possibilities there are for so many young people today, and how simple it can be to seize them!"

"It was a really amazing experience, because I could practice my English and Italian skills, learn a lot of typical dishes, talk about the Italian culture and show them my culture as well."
Have dinner with your family
I love Italian culture and I would like to meet new people and see a typical family in Italy.
It's a great opportunity to practice Italian in a nice, homey atmosphere and learn more about Italian culture from a family.
It's an amazing experience to exchange culture and share conversation with people you would have never met if it wasn't for this programme!
We feel like citizens of the world and we consider openness towards foreign young students a great source of mutual enrichment.
It is a great cultural experience that I would recommend.
To keep my German language skills fluent and at the same time help those who are away from home to feel at home, as I would like it to happen to me if I were alone in another country.
As an international student in Bologna it is easy to rest inside the "Erasmus bubble" and lose any contact to locals. I am a curious person, always looking for new experiences and adventures.
We are pleased to open our home to those who are far from home, offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
I'd love to become familiar with an Italian family in a home environment, and have an opportunity to practice and better my Italian, or help others with their English if they should so desire.
I participate in order to improve the language and get to know new cultures, but mainly as an incentive for my children to travel and undertake such experiences.
I realise that by just roaming around the city I won't be able to make a better connection to it as compared to having lively chats with people who live here.
We think it is useful for the student to feel at home in a country that is not their own and for us adults, but especially for our son, to experience globalisation in practice.
