STUDENT EXCHANGE
“School exchanges with the US have a long tradition”
Anna Wasielewski
Long-term youth and student exchanges with the United States go back a long way at Arbeitskreis gemeinnütziger Jugendaustausch AJA, the umbrella organization of non-profit youth exchange organizations, and its mem - bers. Driven by the idea that exchanges with the former enemy serve reconciliation and peaceful coexistence in a democratic society, the first transatlantic exchanges, most of them organized on a voluntary basis, took place over 80 years ago.
