Asia-Europe Training Courses are important intercultural learning instruments of non-formal education that focus on the personal and professional development of young people and on the capacity building of youth organisations in Asia and Europe. These activities aim at bringing
together the next generation of leaders, equipping them with knowledge, skills and attitudes that enables them to make meaningful contacts, address negotiations, have significant exchanges and deal in a fruitful and open way with any type of interregional issues within their efforts to
deepen the Asia-Europe co-operation one step further.
The Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe and the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) have in common a commitment to intercultural dialogue through youth work and youth cooperation. A first cooperation activity was held at the European Youth Centre Budapest in
2009: a training course on intercultural dialogue and human rights education. After the success of that training course both partners decided to continue their cooperation and provide their respective youth partners with further opportunities to learn and work together, to exchange experience and ideas and to develop common projects and cooperation.
