About
Every year AFS Intercultural Programs Australia provide opportunities for hundreds of our young people to live for a few months or a whole year in another country, where they are immersed in a different culture, living with host families and attending local high schools.
These intercultural learning opportunities change people's lives. Immersion in another culture challenges our own cultural values - the software of our minds. The personal growth and learning that results for both hosted students and their new families is often more profound and long-lasting. Students gain increased maturity and skills, which make them more successful in their academic and working lives.
