Programme

Politics and placing au pairs: How can we influence government´s view of au pair programmes?

Monday, 19 March 2018 – 14:00 – 15:00

Room Marbella

We are all aware of the importance of gaining government support and, where appropriate, sponsorship in order to operate our au pair programmes within a structured and compliant environment. In doing so we protect the interests of all participants and ensure they have the best possible cultural exchange experience. 
In this session, we hear from an impressive panel of senior figures within our industry who will share their experience of working with, and influencing, government bodies and representatives in their home countries. They will share their learnings and best practise with our audience so that we can all benefit from this and apply it in our own efforts to promote au pair programmes around the world.
