Programme cycle

The ASA Programme facilitates learning, acquiring new experiences and making a difference in an inter-connected, changeable world.

Participation includes attending a series of seminars, engaging in a six-month project phase, and a period of reflection on the participant’s own learning process. These three programme components build upon one another to prepare participants for long-term commitment in fair and sustainable development.
