Since 1946, AFS has been giving students the opportunity to spend a year abroad on an intercultural exchange.
On October 4–5, Finhaut will welcome young students who have recently started their exchange year in Switzerland, along with their host families and the Swiss volunteers supporting them. The goal is to help them discover our region and culture through encounters with you!
