The ASA-programme turns 50!
Developed in the 1960s in Germany as a programme self-governed by students, ASA’s aim is to organise study or work residencies in the global South.
In 1984, a choice of residencies for work and experience was added for young professionals with a completed non-academic vocational training. Since 1987/88, participants from Africa, Asia, Latin America and South Eastern Europe are also welcome to gain work skills and experiences in Germany: in the South-North-Program, a team of participants from Germany and the respective host country in the South collaborate for a total of six months – three in Germany and three in the South. In 2001, InWEnt gGmbH, an institution which resulted from the fusion of the Carl-Duisberg-Gesellschaft and the German Foundation for international Development (DSE), became the programme’s funding organization.
The programme offers its participants a combination of seminars, a stay in an African, Asian, Latin American or South Eastern European country, as well as an extensive evaluation at the end of the programme. ASA grants about 250 partial scholarships a year.
