Apply Today to Participate in PEACE Project | Deadline 10th May, 2017
The overall aim of the project is to develop a new sustainable 3-month secondary school exchange program between Asian and Europe called PEACE which recognises non-formal learning. In addition, the project aims at strengthening the volunteer force which supports the program, empowering them to take ownership of the PEACE program and making the volunteers themselves active global citizens.
During this visit, each European partner will visit their Asian pair (in India) to explore the local/national reality of global citizenship in Asia. The idea is to set up meetings with local and national organisations that work on global citizenship, but also explore the awareness of AFS volunteers and staff regarding the topic. These activities can be combined with a visit to the national AFS office.
After the country visits all participants (Asian and European) will meet in India to gather the findings.
This is where you'd be needed.
