We,
the members of GIC Argentina, believe that participating in a cultural
exchange is more than simply traveling to or staying in another
country. We believe that such exchanges can be once in a lifetime
opportunities to come to understand other cultures, increase
communication across national boundaries, and allow people to come to
understand the similarities that tie us together yet still gain new
perspectives on the world.
We dedicate ourselves to offering every
participant the possibility of making new friends and understanding and
appreciating the world outside their own country’s borders while living
as a resident of another country. We further believe that by expanding
our knowledge of the world we will learn to overcome barriers that so
frequently separate us. These goals are particularly important
considering current world events.
We strive to promote good understanding
and communication by means of living and learning together. In order to
achieve this, every year we design and coordinate many different
educational programs in a variety of areas such as languages, arts and
sports.
At GIC Argentina, we hope that our work in furthering
these goals will contribute in some small measure to greater peace and
understanding in the world.
