To this end, in 2017, EFIL will focus on the topic of “Inclusive intercultural learning: exchange organisations contributing to equal opportunities for young people“. Throughout the year, numerous activities will take place around Europe focusing on different aspect of inclusion. This  topic is a logical continuation of EFIL’s previous thematic years: Diversity Education (2014), Citizenship Education (2015) and Building peaceful societies through intercultural education (2016). AFS/EFIL wishes to put more effort in opening up towards less advantaged members of the society, to fulfill its objective of promoting intercultural understanding and justice.
