wintermom Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 My dd is looking at doing an exchange or course abroad and we found this program. Has anyone had any experience doing this program them self or their child? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyGF Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I went with YFU for a year at 16. Don't know anything about Lion's Club, though. Emily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was your experience with it? Where did you go and for how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyGF Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I went to Germany for a year. I had my way paid by the Congress-Bundestag Scholarship. YFU does all sorts of countries and has year and summer programs (at least, it did last time I checked). Emily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily Did you attend a local high school to study German, along with local German students, or were you in a separate program with other exchange students?

EmilyGF Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Did you attend a local high school to study German, along with local German students, or were you in a separate program with other exchange students? First, there was a 4-week language "intensive" with other exchange students. Then I moved to a permanent family and went to a normal high school, took normal classes, and spent no time with other exchange students. You can send me a PM if you have more questions.

GoodGrief Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I didn't realize the Lions had a program. My daughter went with Rotary to Turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
