Global Awareness - Future
Looks Bright!
Au Pairs
who will be joining Au Pair in America are researching the website and spending a lot of time reading about Global
Awareness (www.globalawareness.aifs.com). So many future
au pairs are contacting us to learn more about the program, inquiring how they might join
before they reach the U.S.!
**********************************************************************************************************
Participation
in Global Awareness is open to all au pairs on the Au Pair in America program. After
au pairs have settled into their new homes and adjusted to life with their new host families, they are encouraged to join
Global Awareness. Their Counselors or local program facilitators will guide/support
them as they contact elementary and pre-school classroom teachers, plan presentations, and schedule events. They will have the opportunity to share their cultures with young children through the use of interactive,
fun activities. What could be more fun for children than learning the
samba in a music class? How exciting to think that very young children will go home at the end of the day and exclaim,
“I met a lady from Brazil, and she was really cool.”
Young children
are eager to learn and have a special opportunity to form positive impressions after participating in a Global Awareness classroom
experience.
