They are Olympians. They are mothers.
And they no longer have to choose.

​Every child is different in some way, be it through a special need or a specific
talent, a particular handicap or a unique ability, an outstanding ​accomplish-
​ment or an appeal for help, an ​exceptional ambition or a rare ​condition.

Clearly, no child is born to conform to a norm.
In our thirteenth year, this is what we celebrate.

Wanted: Politicians with guts and backbone.

With the wavelength-o-meter!

Rich profiles - we call them the wavelength-o-meter - are a milestone! They do an excellent job in establishing trust, building familiarity and making the chemistry between people work. Experience proves how we all tick:
​For a strong human connection you just can't beat a shared sense of humour! 

A milestone. The wavelength-o-meter.

The wavelength-o-meter has become indispensable for family partnerships
and for the Bolder Bond programme! 

The key is having a purpose.

"International teams and tribes really give you wider horizons. I never exchanged one peer group for another, I added new ones instead. They are totally different from each other and that's really good for me. This made me more focused, more self-confident and more down-to-earth at the same time."
.

They share a global longing for a new start after the pandemic. 

So for Xmas this year, there is a promise. We'll do this together.
There will be new standards of ego-free politics, not driven by the wish to have power and be important but to use power to take all the important steps soon. There will be more laughing, more open talk, more clarity, more joy.
There will be unashamed asking for advice and unapologetic crowdsourcing for better solutions. There will be no more borders in the mind. There will be a new generation deal. 

Last year, Fridays for Future has kicked this generation into gear and made kids understand just when taking to the streets makes sense and when it's time to do more than demonstrate. These young people have used their time in lockdown wisely. It's been time to think. 2021 is the time to act.

​Feel invited to join this new beginning. And feel encouraged to give the gift of Global Native opportunities ​to the people you care about! Merry Xmas!

​2020: Not a good year for language holidays, gap years abroad and international student exchange. 
And yet, Global Native kids made better language progress than ever, despite the pandemic and school closures. How?
​They made each other laugh.

September 26 is the European Day of Languages. 

If you want to build a house, you don't start off with a brick. You start with an idea on how you want to live. For a Global Native, learning a language starts with the wish to understand. 

Visit FAMILIAR LANGUAGES to see how Global Native kids grow up multilingual.

Why the crisis called for some urgent straight talk.

The result: A second wave of applications.  ​This time for all the right reasons! Because now it is perfectly clear what give-and-take means to us. ​ ​ It takes a village to raise a child. ​And a famillage to raise a global citizen.

We talk to folks hundreds and even thousands of miles away. They are our famillage: They're kindred spirits, bringing new perspectives and fresh ideas into our lives. Their kids and our kids teach each other languages. During lockdown many of us have reached out for new connections in the vicinity and found kindred spirits within our neighbourhoods.
