Intercultura Foundation promotes youth exchanges to foster dialogue between cultures and the internationalization of Italian schools. Since the end of World War II, the Foundation has adopted student exchange as a means of promoting knowledge and solidarity between men and women. Since then, the Intercultura programme has offered the opportunity to study in a foreign school for a year, or for a semester, with the possibility of being hosted by a family in the host country. To facilitate this mobility, also with the support of many supporters, the Foundation offers scholarships to deserving young people from underprivileged families. Selected students are offered a training course that covers the entire mobility period and allows them to fully grasp the meaning of the experience. At the end of the experience, students can join the association as volunteers. Furthermore, in cooperation with Italian and foreign universities, the Foundation offers families meetings and seminars on intercultural education as well as orientation for choosing academic studies. Every year, more than 2,000 Italian secondary school students have the experience of studying abroad and almost as many are welcomed into Italian families and schools.
