It takes a village to raise a child.
It takes a famillage to raise a global citizen.

Famillages are international family partnerships.
Across the borders of the land and of the mind, they multiply opportunities.
​Their genuine desire is to add value to each other's lives.

Families from all continents and from all walks of life
use famillages to ​exchange their languages and homes,
​knowledge and skills, ideas and chances.  

                                                                            We believe in science, democracy and fair give-and-take.​

How it all started. The story.

Raising children means giving them opportunities.
Opportunities to learn, to try things and ideas, to experiment.
Opportunities to understand life, the world around them and
themselves; to become constructive, confident global citizens.

We know: on our own, that can be challenging, complicated,
expensive, time-consuming and occasionally even impossible.

That's why we give each other a hand.

Famillages create a million chances. 
Including those that money could never buy.

Global Natives are families with an open and global mindset.

They speak the language you want to practice
and give you access to their knowledge and skills.​

Languages!

Their children are companions for your children - to play with, ​to learn, to understand.
And they are sparring partners for your teenage sons and daughters.
In the community, they trade places:
For language holidays and student exchanges, for internships and gap years.

​​As parents, as families, and as kindred spirits, your fellow Global Natives share your hopes and concerns.
Around the corner and around the world.

Global Natives are mums and dads who
love their children just as you love yours.
​
Just like you, they want them to live fulfilling lives.
To have a fair go. 
​So they share and exchange their Haves and Wants.
​
How?  By digital dialogue & real life hospitality. 
Through simple, fair and uncomplicated give-and-take.
​
On- and offline. ​​From toddler to postdoc,
​from preschooler to travelling grandma.

Websites, so experts tell us, only have about five to ten seconds to catch
or hold a visitor’s attention. Their first-impression theory ​is probably true. 
However, this is not a click-click-click-ready-and-done-with thing!
​Your kids take two decades to grow up. Take your time.

​This is slow networking. It calls for consideration and commitment.
