Contributions of the ASA Programme and partner institutions in the global programme format

Would you like to implement a project that transcends national borders with young people from countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America or Southeast Europe and Germany? The ASA Programme`s global format holds special potential for exchange and dialogue based on partnership.

Travel costs, other project-related costs and costs for their stay in Germany will be covered for participants from a country in Africa, Asia, Latin America and South-East Europe by co-financing between the ASA Programme and the respective German partner institution. Find out more below.

What can you expect as a partner institution?

Contribution made by the ASA Programme

  • On request, we can advise you on the development and design of your project proposal.
  • We advertise the places for participants from Germany, manage the application process and conduct a proven selection procedure.
  • We support the learning and preparation process of the participants through ASA seminars. There the participants are intensively supported by tutors and accompanied in their learning process. Questions on global interdependencies are treated at the seminars as well as team-building, project management, intercultural communication and methods of self-reflection.
  • Participants receive a partial scholarship from the ASA Programme (see also funding). In addition, the ASA Programme covers the fees of the ASA seminars and part of the costs for travel to the projects and the ASA seminars. The ASA Programme arranges health, accident and third-party liability insurance for participants.
