On July 19, Goducate’s Global LifeSkills Center (formerly known as the Global Life Hub) in Hyderabad, India, held a special full-day program called “Meet America”. Learning about global life in a classroom cannot match the experience of mixing with foreigners. And it is rarely that university students in India get an opportunity to mix with foreigners, even though they do come across some on the streets.
Exposure to the international world is vital for students’ development and for their career prospects. For those who might have a chance to go abroad for further studies or to work, such exposure during their undergraduate days will ease their adjustment to life abroad. With this in mind, we invited a group of 10 Americans from different professions to spend a day with our members. These Americans happened to be visiting Hyderabad.
Half the day was spent at the Center, and the evening we went to the park. The “Meet America” day gave our members had a Great opportunity to chat, eat, and play with the Americans and to learn about their lifestyles, cultures, and tradition.
After the visitors left, our members told us how they never imagined that they would meet foreigners who would be so friendly towards them and would answer all questions they had about the USA .
