This is an example of a typical week of an individual exchange program, depending on the city where you will be.

Wherever you will go, you will do the local activities with your Indian family (sea, countryside, mountain, city...), as a location, we usually select a large city (Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai...). However, if you have location preferences, we will always take it into consideration.

Sunday: Flight from Slovenia to India. Your host family with the Milna person will be waiting for you at New Delhi airport. Transfer to the city of your Indian family. Presentation of the house, the family members that you know already via the several emails/phones exchanges you had with them since weeks. Dinner and night in the house of your Indian family.

Monday: You are the star today, as you will attract the attention of the school students. You will have to answers to lot of questions and "Hellos!". You will be welcomed by the principal who will show you the school. Then you will go with your partner to assist to the classes. After that, you will have your lunch at the canteen or provided by the Indian family. No later than 14:00, the school will be over, back to your Indian family via school bus, the afternoon will be used to discover your neighborhood with your partner. Evening and dinner with the family.

Tuesday: After a breakfast with your Indian family, you will head to school to assist to the classes. Same as Monday, but today, everyone in the school knows your name and from which city you come from. You will be going to several classrooms as you will be giving a presentation of your country in a Geography class or being the center of interest in an English class where you will need to answers to all the questions the Indian students will have about you and your country. This time, you will be much more comfortable and can find your classrooms, canteen, toilets... without any help, you are almost a real student in the Indian school!

Wednesday: You will join a cooking class. Yes! In Indian schools, they also teach how to cook. You will be able to surprise your parents when you go back with very easy recipes. You will  notice that  in India, nobody will ignore you, everyone is friendly and want to exchange few words with you, share his meal with you, invite you to join a cricket match... The practice of English is daily and to learn a local language: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil... just ask and you will have the help of everyone (Teachers, students, family...). Most Indian schools finish before 14:00, so it's a great advantage, as all the afternoons will be a time you can spend with your host family and partner. You will be part of the Indian family program.

Even if it is an individual exchange program, remember that you are not left alone with your Indian family, Milna will check several times if all is fine with you and if needed, a Milna person will not hesitate to meet you during your stay.

Thursday: Indians have dance and music in their blood, so you will be able to involve your self in dance and  music classes in your Indian school and after that some more brain involvement where you can compare your knowledge in mathematics, physics or biology with other students. The afternoon, you might visit with your family a Sikh temple and see how everyone is involved with one goal in mind: Help each other.the opportunity to have a deep look and understanding

Friday: Everyone in the school is exited when the last bell will ring, it means the end of the school for this week. If you know some dance/song or want to play an instrument and show your talent to all the school, this is your celebrity moment and your chance to be noticed! If this is your last Friday, you will be saying bye bye to all your new friends and probably you will cry a little or a lot knowing that you might not meet them soon ;-(

Saturday: Youpi! Today is Saturday and the Indian family is fully available to take you discover the area and do shopping (As we know, you love shopping). Everyone has a car and they will not hesitate drivings hours to show you nice things around.
As you know, everything in India will be a discovery for you. The architecture, the people, the food, the flavors, the weather... will keep your curiosity at its maximum.

Sunday: Sunday in India is a relaxed day. Your Indian partner might go with his friends for a cricket match, a family celebration...). The participant will be more than welcome. Sunday also is the day of Bollywood movies, going to a temple, assisting to a wedding... It's where you can feel the real authentic India with your Indian family!
If this is your last day, according to your flight timing, you will be heading to the airport with your Indian family/Indian teacher and the Milna person. They will help you to check in. The participant will be constantly in touch.
If this is not your last day, it means that you have another week full of excitement waiting for you!

Possible activities in the Indian school: Participating to classes (English, Hindi, Sport, Arts, cooking...), teaching your own language to the Indian students, making presentation of your country, its culture, festivals, traditions..., having practical language classes as per the participant level, preparing a show you want to perform at the end of your stay...

Possible activities with the India family: In India, most schools will close before 14:00, If the Indian family members (Father and mother) work, it means that they will come back home after 16:00. But an Indian family is often a joined family where you have cousins, uncles, grand parents living in the same house or very closed by. So you will always have someone who will have time to take you out. Indians love going out, specially when they have guests like you. You will be pampered from the moment you open up and show a desire to involve in the daily family life.

(This is an example of program and given just for information, the program will depend on the Indian family, their availability, the location of the school, the school calendar, flight and local transportation timing. The program will be clearer when the Indian school and Indian family have selected the participant.)
