- build a relationship
with someone from another culture;
- gain another family
member from another part of the world;
- learn about the customs,
ideas and values of another culture;
- share your own customs,
ideas and values, and learn about Australia through the experiences of your
host student.
One of the interesting
things discovered by host families is that teenagers from around the world
have so much in common, and yet it is their cultural differences that make
sharing their lives so much fun.
