I can really tell the difference when my students came back from their exchange. They matured a lot, became able to recognize and respect cultural differences. Many students mention that they would like to participate more in extracurricular activities when they are back. They do not mind skipping classes to help me host guests as they realize they may be able to learn a lot more than in a single class. As the Chinese wisdom goes, ‘It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books.’ The AFS Year Exchange Program is testament to this well-known proverb.

There are positive changes in students after they joined the exchange program in terms of self-development, interpersonal relationship and the way they look at the society. They became clear in their goal for the future and more willing to accept different opinions. More importantly, they learned how to respect different cultures and contribute to the society.

AFS Year Exchange Program provides a learning opportunity outside classroom for students to learn from real-life experience. Through experiencing different cultures and education system, students become more capable in facing challenges under the trend of globalization and adapting to new environment. The experience also equips them with global competence and helps them to be more competitive. The cultural exchange with people from different backgrounds also improves students’ ability in expressing themselves, communicating with others, working creatively and achieving the goal of All-Round Development.
