Invite for dinner an international student
selected for your family.

Open yourself to new cultural horizons inside your own home.

An exciting new adventure for the whole family

Engage in cultural exchange

Host an international student at your table: share your favorite dishes and your family’s quirks, listen to their stories, and discover new perspectives and curiosities from around the world.

Make new friends

International students arrive in spring and fall to attend one or more academic semesters. Their long stay in the city is the perfect opportunity to form a genuine friendship: when your student returns home and talks about Italy, it will be you they think of!

Practice a foreign language

Dinehome brings all family members together: young and old alike can practice their English, Spanish, French… and feel like citizens of the world, right at home.

Meet Veronica, a mom in Bologna:
she had dinner with Miyu from Japan 🇯🇵

It was really great talking to her about her origins, the “simplicity” of Japanese writing, and the colorful customs of our country. Seeing the kids talking to her in English as if she were a long-time friend helped us understand how many opportunities there are for young people today, and how easy it can be to seize them!
