Educatius Highlights 20 Years of Student Exchange Connections

[Boston, USA] – Educatius, a global education company, is excited to announce the launch of the Host Family Reunion Competition, a celebration of the extraordinary connections between international students and their host families. This event coincides with Educatius' 20th anniversary, marking two decades of empowering students to unlock the world through high school exchanges.

The Host Family Reunion Competition honors the vital role that local host families play in the experience of exchange students. Studying abroad can be a daunting experience for many teens, but the support of host families builds personal growth and lifelong friendships while completing an academic program far from home.

"We are proud to launch the Host Family Reunion Competition, which celebrates the bonds that are at the heart of our high school programs in 11 countries," said Carla Kearns, Vice President of Marketing at Educatius. "For 20 years, we have witnessed countless stories of cultural exchange, personal development, and enduring connections. This competition highlights the connections that transcend borders and enrich lives."

Open to all Educatius international students and host families who have participated in the program during the last 20 years, the competition invites participants to share their stories through written narratives, photographs, and videos that capture the depth of their relationships and the unforgettable memories. These inspiring stories will be showcased on Educatius' website and social media platforms, spreading the message of the importance of cross-cultural experiences.

By participating in the Competition, entrants not only share their unique stories but also have a chance to win a reunion! The winning 2 Educatius alumni will receive a round trip flight to be reunited with their host family, a special event where they can reminisce and create new memories. Additionally, several runners-up will be recognized and receive exclusive Educatius merchandise.

Educatius invites all current and former host families and international students to be part of this momentous celebration.

The fun starts immediately and we will accept submissions until July 31, 2023.
