Holiday child care - who doesn't need it?
Language holidays - who wouldn't benefit? We combine them. |

Every summer, parents worldwide face a challenge:
The school holidays are a lot longer than the time they can take off work.
With some luck, grandparents and other relatives can help out for a while,
but most mums and dads have to coordinate their paid leaves meticulously.
For single parents, it's even harder ...
The solution: Global Natives families combine language holidays with
taking care of each other's kids. They get the best of both worlds!

Your children grow, they develop fast.
That's why families adapt things every year for their ever-changing needs. In family partnerships, that's really simple: their children grow older together. Many holiday partnerships start when the kids are little. Then, their action radius expands over time. ... what's a famillage? |
The summer of 2023 was our strongest ever:
The pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the climate crisis create great uncertainty.
That's why more and more parents value the benefits of family partnerships - they know they can rely on each other.
The interest in famillage holidays has grown 20-fold (!) and is likely to increase further.
Here's why:
Uncomplicated flexibility! |
Your job situation and many other parameters can change.
So can the availability of grandparents and other care takers. Your kids' interests and their language requirements evolve too. Famillage holidays are easily adapted. |
Famillages are cost-efficient: |
No agency fees. No booking fees. No tuition fees.
No doubt, organized language holidays, arranged for a fortnight or longer, can do a lot for your child. But their price tag is considerable, particularly when your kid ends up homesick or unhappy. In a famillage partnership, language holidays are an integral part of your family holidays. With folks you already know. |
It's never too early! |

Getting started in the sandbox holds convincing long-term benefits. |
Give your teenager a life! |
Teenagers want opportunities to build self-esteem.
They love to try new jobs, earn some extra cash and prove their talents. Give them the opportunity to practice their language skills on-the-job and allow them to earn the respect they long for. The demand for intern- ships, both in businesses and in NGOs, has never been higher! |
Special requirements? |
Famillage holidays let you cater for kids with a special need or a specific
interest, a particular handicap or a unique ability, an exceptional ambition or a rare condition, even for allergies and intolerances (learn more). |
Combine! |
Mix and combine interests, hobbies, sport and culture with language training!
The right match might let you speak German and go skiing in the Alps, go horse riding in France or surfing in Portugal. A very popular combination: practice a language hand in hand with a craft or a skill. |
It can last a lifetime. |
Famillage partnerships thrive over the years.
Many friendships result in trading places for a school year, others give each other a hand getting started at university or in a job. |
Holidays with friends 💞 |
This is turning into serious competition for Airbnb & Co.!
Arranging for each other's holiday accommodation is good for the family budget. And it lets you see a place as a friend, not as a tourist. |
