GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENT LINKS’s PROGRAMME

Characteristics

V13

“Student Links” finds an “amigo” for each British host family’s child among their Spanish students considering their age, gender and interests so that they “jell” and become friends easily in the idea of enriching each other’s lives now and in the future.

This trip for our Spanish students takes place as soon as they finish school in Spain -around 22nd June- and lasts for the 4 weeks of the last term in Manchester-Cheshire schools, just before they break up for their summer holidays (around 20th July)

We take particular care in matching both “buddies” and, as a result, our placements are very successful and when a Spanish student joins the group for a second year and wants to be hosted by the same family, Student Links give the chance to the British “host brother or sister” to travel with the group going back to Spain to spend the last week in July for a great summer holiday at their buddy’s home at a very low cost taken off the allowance so that everybody can join in!

We are very proud of the most gratifying feedback from the people who have been somehow involved in the experience: our Spanish students and families, the British families and their children, the participating schools, their teachers… They just found it a fabulous experience.

Girls

Each British family receives a very generous and substantial allowance to cover what comes along with hosting and more!

Chicos1

Is not essential, but if sharing, it must be with the British buddy in a suitable bedroom.

V11

For finding other host families: Every year, we have a number of enthusiastic actual and former families, teachers and collaborators who help us in the search of new great host families: you will receive 100,00 pounds per family you spot for us.

Girls2

For the Spanish student: Each British pupil mentors his/her “amigo” at school: the idea is that the Spanish student “just shadows” his/her “buddy” in class, so while the Spanish student undertake our programme in a very enthusiastic way, the British pupils happily become their mentors at school and help them around with pride.

NOTE: when filling in the application form, please, don’t forget to write “N/A” in the boxes where the question doesn’t apply to you so that the system lets you continue. We need information on the whole family but especially the children, and mainly the child who is going to be the “buddy”, all of which will allow us to find the right match for him or her.

Boys2

Everything is planned for a succesful and gratifying experience and the second year, the British children are invited over to spend the last week in July at their amigo’s for a great week of summer holiday in Spain at a very low cost which includes planes, assistance and insurance (500.00 pounds taken off the allowance, which still leaves enough for the family to cover the hosting expenses this second year)

Chicas3

For the school: We are very gratefull to all the schools who take part in our programme every year, and as a sign of gratitute we give them a generous donation per Spanish student attending.

Girls3

There’s usually no more than 10 Spanish students per school distributed in several Years to ensure our students’ full integration, so, if you are interested, please, make your application now..!!!

Girls4

Our Spanish students profile: very positive and enthusiastic about their stay in Manchester; willing to make British friends, responsable, good students and laid-back children who happily enroll for an extra month at school being on holiday as they are from 20th June just for the adventure of doing so in a foreign country they fancy (English language, culture…); polite and well-mannered children coming from nice backgrounds.

Chicos2

From 8 to 17-years-old

Boys3

At the end of May, you will receive a file with information and pictures on your selected student and, at the same time, the Spanish family will receive a file with information on you and the school they’ll be attending (uniform details, et…). Then, you can both get in touch with each other –a really exciting moment indeed..!!!-

At the same time, the schools will receive information on each student,  details on our school insurance, etc…

Chicos3

All our students are fully covered by our Language School insurance for any eventualities that may take place at all times along their stay, details of which will be sent upon request.

This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
