The Kulturwerke Deutschland organization helped me to prepare very well for my year abroad. There were personal talks, preparatory seminars and my parents and I always had the opportunity to ask questions in the WhatsApp group. I also felt well looked after on site thanks to the monthly feedback meetings they offered and I was always able to contact a member of staff at Kulturwerke Deutschland with my concerns. Fortunately, everything was clarified in advance so that I didn't have any problems with the school or host family in Canada. Now I would like to tell you what was the biggest reason why I felt so well looked after. Firstly, it was the staff who looked after me and always gave me several options to choose from. Secondly, my host family also played a big role, because I felt at home with them from day one and it very quickly felt like home to me. Thirdly, and lastly, it was very nice to get quick feedback no matter what, whether it was from Kulturwerke Germany or the partner organization in Canada, you always received quick feedback from both sides.
So to sum up, I would say that if I were to do another semester abroad, I would do it again with Kulturwerke Deutschland.
