Resumo: (education, intercultural learning, exchanges)
The hosting organization is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organization that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.
Every year, the organization sends 150 high school students and young adults abroad and hosts about 150 foreign students in homes. 900 local volunteers make this happen: they recruit the students and families and support them throughout the whole exchange process.

All participants will be hosted in a host family or at the work place, depending on the project. Only volunteers who are truly motivated to live in a host family should apply for this project! Please do know that our host families are not necessarily living near the project. Be aware that you might have the travel time from your home to your project might take a while. Especially, when your project is situated in a large city, it’s very likely that you will be hosted in the suburbs and not in the city centre.

Tarefas: The project consists of two components:

1. Intercultural educator for intercultural learning in schools and youth activities
The organization wants to share its ICL (intercultural learning) experience with high schools and other organizations who are interested in building global competences. The current diversity in the Flemish schools has become an ideal environment to share our knowledge by providing educational workshops. Currently diversity in local schools is more seen as a problem than a privilege.
Unfortunately we also notice that the Flemish schools are dealing with a lot of drop outs, mostly by students with a migrant background. With those realities, facts and figures in mind, AFS wants to offer schools workshops based on intercultural learning. Next to schools, many other organizations face the same intercultural reality and want to work on building global competences among their volunteers or participants. The organization works together with them to share more intercultural understanding through courses and workshops.

2. Intercultural educator for global competences and intercultural learning in exchange programs
The organization are built on experience based intercultural learning and promote lifelong intercultural learning. In order to achieve this, the organization developed several educational programs and orientation workshops designed to support learners participating in an international experience in building their global competence.
One of these programs is called the Global Competence Certificate (GCC) and is composed of 18 online modules with guided reflection and live training at key points in the curriculum. Each of these
online modules contains a short video, where we introduce the key topics of intercultural learning and begin the conversation online (through forums, discussion, questions, and assignments). When a participant has gone through all the online sessions and attended the reflection sessions and live trainings, (s)he receives the Global Competence Certificate.
