Give the gift of Christmas! Hundreds of adult
international students studying in the UK are facing a lonely Christmas on a
deserted University campus. You can invite students to visit for a few days at
Christmas so the student can experience ‘real’ Britain, away from university
and heavy tourism, and so the host can meet new people and learn about diverse
cultures from around the world.
There are no specific expectations from a host visit,
other than the student should be made to feel part of your family for the short
time. Hosts can show their local area, visit friends, attend local events, or
just spend time chatting. This is not a tourism opportunity for the student and
hosts are not expected to act as ‘tour-guides’.
So, if you’d like to enjoy an unusual and rewarding
activity, meet new people and travel the world on your sofa, get in touch with
