The German American Partnership Program (GAPP) supports school partnerships and exchanges between high schools in the U.S. and secondary schools in Germany. GAPP allows groups of U.S. high school students and German secondary school students to visit a secondary school in the other country. The recommended group size is 10-20 students of approximately the same age. In Germany, as well as in the U.S., students live with their host family and participate in school activities. This program affords the opportunity for students to experience an adventure of a lifetime! For some of these students it may be their only chance to visit another country and to see places they have only read about or seen on TV. The experience is quite rewarding for the host families as well! In a very short time you go from being perfect strangers to friends for life. Our family has hosted a total of six GAPP students over the span of four years and still keep in touch with them on a regular basis. This an awesome program and one I wish I had the opportunity to participate in when I was in high school! In this video we follow along as the group first arrives, explores natural areas of our region, gets to experience life in the Appalachians of Southeastern Kentucky and find out why Kentucky is known as the horse capitol of the world!
