ABSTRACT
The U.S. Department of State recognizes that students "act as citizen ambassadors by building relationships within their host communities, demonstrating American values, and debunking stereotypes" (U.S. Department of State, 2023). According to the GAPP website, over 750 high schools in the United States have a GAPP program and more than 9000 students participate in GAPP each year. Afterwards, the students filled out an evaluation of GAVE, provided on the GAVE website. Ludwig confirms that "online classes cannot replace the classical purpose of a stay abroad, namely: to be in a different place, in a different environment, to gain hands-on experience and, last but not least, to become more independent" (Ludwig, 2022).
