AFS cultural immersion

AFS cultural immersion is an educational experience where participants live and engage directly with communities in a different country. It promotes understanding by encouraging real interactions—like participating in local activities, traditions, and daily routines. This firsthand exposure helps individuals gain deeper insights into another culture’s values, customs, and perspectives, fostering global awareness and personal growth. Ultimately, AFS cultural immersion aims to build cross-cultural understanding and respect by immersing participants in authentic, everyday life abroad.
