There is no charge for the visits - students have to pay only the cost of travel to their hosts. HOST has volunteer hosts all over the UK, so it is possible for students to have visits close to their place of training, or in another part of the country. During the visit they make friends with their hosts, experience the British culture and way of life at first hand, and also see different parts of the country. HOST visits can be very good for practising the English language with helpful native speakers. They are also opportunities to talk about home and to exchange ideas and information with the hosts.
HOST helps students to feel welcome and at home.
HOST is unique to Britain. The British Council is the United Kingdom's international organisation for educational and cultural relations. Registered in England as a Charity.
