We estimated that about 20 to 25% of our members would use this community for both international AND domestic purposes. Like the double Horst story. This was only an estimate and we wanted to know in detail. So we asked.
With an amazing result. Now, so it seems, everyone wants it.
Because we asked. Wow.
We frequently ask our members about certain issues, we want their opinion on specific programs or services. But we never had such an overwhelming repsonse before.
Which means of course, that we've struck a nerve on a resource which clearly has a lot more potential and is crying out to be put to better use. Here we go:
Usually, folks join us to establish international contacts for their kids and for the entire family. They organise student exchange this way, arrange holidays, swap grandparents and do many other clever things. And for some it was always obvious that they could do the same without crossing borders.
Domestic exchange, focused on purpose, not language or nationality. Like getting kids from the seaside to the mountains and vice versa. Or getting rural and urban youngsters into dialogue. And by asking we've now triggered an enormous wave of activities.
We think this is COOOOOOOL!
