course overview
Students are often intrigued by the idea of homestay but can be apprehensive about doing it in reality. This session is hosted by both a BlueSky staff member who explains the homestay process as well as with a real life homestay family who will give students an insight into daily life in that country, show them around their homes and generally give an unprecedented cultural insight into what they could expect if they travelled to that country.
