In cooperation with its member organisations, EFIL initiates and implements a number of pan-European projects every year. Their focus lay on various facets of Intercultural Learning: promotion, development of tools and materials, exchange of knowledge and experiences among the European members and between the European and world-wide AFS organisations. Moreover, the projects aim to contribute to the individual mobility of young people, to analyse the impact of intercultural experiences and to build a common and credible identity of AFS in Europe.

In course of the year 2008 – the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue – EFIL was busy working on the following projects:

• Comenius Individual Mobility Scheme

• The Education Conference “Moving Beyond Mobility: Intercultural Learning through Youth Exchange”
  website

• The educational video project “Snapshots: When Cultures Interact”

• The Intercultural Dialogue Day – September 26th 2008
  

• “Worldoscope: Strength through Diversity”, multiplying the experiences from Asia, Africa and Europe.
