Explore our history
For EFIL’s 40th anniversary, a booklet has been published, walking you through 40 years of history, from the early beginnings and informal meetings in the 1960s, over the 1970s when AFS Europa became EFIL and intercultural learning was put on the table, the widening focus and expanded tasks of the Federation in the 1980s, a decade of challenges in the 1990s, to today’s EFIL with a strong membership and stable secretariat and board, enjoying increased visibility and credibility.
