Fields of activity and programme formats

The ASA Programme cooperates with different partner institutions ranging from nongovernmental organisations, foundations, and organisations of the German Development Cooperation to municipal authorities, businesses, and universities to realize the projects.

The ASA Programme’s partner institutions are active in the following fields of activity:

Participants from countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and South-East Europe may apply to the global programme format, which features internationally composed teams of four participants who go through the entire programme cycle together.

Participants residing in Germany should visit the German website to learn more about the basic programme format, which differ in the number of participants per team, as well as on ASApreneurs - Shaping a sustainable world.

The ASA Programme has gained many years of experience, thanks to collaborations with governmental and non-governmental organisations – in particular, foundations, grassroots initiatives, and implementing organisations of the German Development Cooperation. The projects include a variety of strategies that focus on sustainable global development.

Participants from countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and South-East Europe go through all phases of the programme with participants from Germany. A key programme component is the six-month project phase, with three months spent at a partner institution in Germany followed by three months at an organisation in participants’ country of residence. One of the ASA Programme’s primary goals is fostering international learning communities.

ASA Academia aims to foster commitment to global sustainability in the applied sciences. It allows young people participating in the ASA Programme to help develop international research projects that address social injustice, resource distribution and shortages, or planetary boundaries – spending three months at a partner institution in Germany and another three months at a partner institution in a country of Africa, Asia, Latin America or South-East Europe.
