Religion, regardless of a student’s own beliefs or depth of engagement, has an impact on the exchange. This may be due to the student’s own beliefs/engagement or that of their hosts. It may also manifest because of the government’s support, directly or indirectly, with a church/religion. In many cases, a student may either live with a family of a different religion or be placed in a country where there is a dominant religion, a significant contrast to their native country. This is NOT a session about religion but rather the IMPACT on exchanges

Editor's Notes
- HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT? EVEN BEFORE EXCHANGE--GROWING UP IN MT. CARMEL. FELT INFLUENCE OF RELIGION BRASIL: BIG COUNTRY, BIG ON SOCCER, BIG ON COFFEE, BIG ON SAMBA...AND BIG ON CATHOLICS. HAD PERCEPTION ABOUT LIVING NI CATHOLIC COUNTRY AND CATHOLIC FAMILY. BEING ON THE INSIDE. JOINED ROTARY. SAW APPS WITH REFERENCES TO RELIGION. HEARD. BEGAN IMAPCT ON RELIGION SESSION TO DISCUSS STUDENTS PERCEPTIONS AND HOW TO GROW
- NOTE: UNAFFILIATED GROWING INTER-RELGIOUS MARRIAGE SOME NO NEED FOR ORGANTIZED RELIGION SHIFTS WHITIN RELIGIONS EVALNGELCAL CHRISTIANS. GROWING. VOCAL JEWS SHIFT FROM CONSERVATIVE TO REFORM AND ORTHODOX. UPDATED VIEWS ON RELIGIONS.
- NOT NECESARRILY AGNOSTIC OR ATHEIST. RELIGION NOT AS IMPORTANT. LOW CONNECTION.
- MANY COUNTRIES HAVE MAJORITY OF POPULATION IN ONE RELIGION
- SOME COUNTRIES DON'T HAVE A SINGLE DOMINENT RELIGION NOTE BOTH COUNTRIES--HIGH UNAFFILATED
- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US AND FOR THE STUDENTS? -IMAGINE STUDENT FROM MEXICO GOING TO INDONESIA. STUDENT FROM GERMANY GOING TO MEXICO.
- PEOPLE HAVE VARYING CONNECTIONS TO RELIGION SOME STUDENTS MAY WANT TO HAVE A CONNECTION BUT CAN'T BECAUSE THEIR RELIGION IS NOT AS AVAILABLE.
- THE EFFECTS COME FROM INFLUENCE OF PEOPLE AROUND THEM. LIKE I HAD IN MT. CARMEL
- EXAMPLES: CHURCH IN PEDRA AZUL GERMAN GIRL TOLD SHE'D GO TO HELL BOY INVITED TO SYNAGOGUE
- THE ENVIRONMENT- LIKE MT. CARMEL GEOGRAPHIC- PEOPLE ATTRACTED AREAS OF SIMIILARITY. DEARBON MICH - LARGEST MUSLIM POPULATIN IN US/, 2ND LARGEST MUSLIM POP CITY IN WORLD MONSEY NY- LARGE ORTHODOX JEWISH ENCLAVE
- WE TYPICALLY TELL STUDENTS TO AVOID DISCUSSIONS ON RELIGION BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH VERY PERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL ISSUES MANY COUNTRIES, ASIDE FROM US, FOLLOW CONCEPT OF SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE
- CROSS OVER A DOOR IN THE POLISH LOWER PARLIMENT .
- ROE V WADE IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS- MANY RELIGIOUS OVERTONES MORE STUDENT RELATABLE CASES REGARDING RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE ON GOVERNMENT
- ISSUES LIKE THESE ARE IN THE NEWS. MAY HEAR OPINIONS FROM HOSTS, AT HOUSE OF WORSHIP, FROM FRIENDS . SOME CLOSE TO THE STUDENT MAY BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ACTIVITIES.
