The most powerful force in the promotion of international
understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The
world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all
people - regardless of nationality - desire the same
basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a
rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves.
Student exchange provides young people with the opportunity to
meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures.
This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding. |
