Lucknow Sentinel, 'Wednesday, October 21, 1987—Page 3 Students have chance to see the world Interculture Canada offers Ontario students, aged between 15 and 18, the ex- citing chance to study in more than 35 countries around the world. The participants attend high school abroad, and are hosted by a loving and caring family. Through the exchange of ideas with their new teachers, friends and family, they learn about the life and customs of their host country. They also have the unique opportunity to learn and master another language. This intercultural experience is a dream come true for the teenager who wishes to acquire a certain maturity, and to expand his personal skills. "... To achieve self- fulfillment through new activities, to have a sense of belonging among new friends... I am gaining more and more confidence in myself. I find myself doing things I would never have done before! ! I am learning to laugh at my blunders! I am getting more autonomous, and more able to deal with my problems," says Marie -Claude Langlois, a Canadian participant to Bar- bados in 1986. Interculture Canada will accept 185 students. The candidates will be evaluated on their academic abilities, and most im- portant, on their general personality and interpersonal skills. The participants will possess, among others, flexibility, self- confidence, open-mindedness, and the ability to meet the various challenges of an intercultural experience. Participation fees for Interculture Canada programs are not much more than what it would cost to have a teenager live at home for a year. Financial assistance is available to disadvantaged families. Students interested in obtaining more in- formation about Interculture Canada pro- grams may call toll free 1-800-361-7248. Departure is in winter or summer, depen- ding on the choice of country. Final ap- plications must reach the National Office by October 30th for winter departure, and November 30th for summer departure.
