“The most enduring lesson from my AFS year was learning to see my own country through someone else’s eyes. The more insight and cultural awareness we have as global citizens, the greater our ability to build a strong international community that respects our differences while fostering peaceful and productive relationships. I’m proud to be an AFSer and to continue supporting its role in this endeavor.”

—Peter Robinson, President and CEO, United States Council for International Business Transforming lives; Daring to create change

2 What is the AFS effect?

From the beginning, more than 1 million students, volunteers and families have had an AFS experience that changed them forever. That’s because living, studying and volunteering across borders and in multicultural communities transforms lives, creates global citizens and empowers changemakers. The Ambulance Drivers of the American Field Service learned that lesson 100 years ago when they volunteered to serve in Europe during World War I and were forced to break down barriers of culture and language to work together and serve people in need. Since 1915, AFS has helped a passionate global community develop a deeper understanding of culture and appreciate that our lives and our world are enriched by our differences. Just about anywhere in the world, you’ll find “There is no organization an AFSer tackling the defining in the world that so challenges of a 21st century successfully enables and intercultural, interconnected world. sustains the strength of That’s what we call “The AFS professional and personal Effect” and that’s why we embraced relationships internationally “Daring to Create Change” as the theme of the AFS Centennial. than AFS.” —Keith Stock, Chairman, First Financial Investors, Inc. and Former Member, AFS Intercultural Programs Board of Trustees

WHY ARE AMBULANCES IMPORTANT SYMBOLS FOR AFS? AFS Intercultural Programs was founded by volunteer ambulance and camion drivers who carried more than one million wounded during World Wars I and II.

AFS Hero and Visionary: Arthur “Art” Howe, Jr., AFS WWII driver AFS WWII driver Art Howe, Jr. was one of the founders of the post-war AFS secondary school exchange programs and spent a lifetime advocating for intercultural exchange, human rights and education. A respected leader in higher education, Howe was the Yale admissions dean who in 1956 sparked what he called the “heretical” idea of permitting women into the Ivy League college’s undergraduate program—13 years before it came to fruition according to his Washington Post obituary. For many years Howe chaired the board of the historic Hampton University, founded in 1868 as one of the first US colleges established French President François Hollande admires for African-American students.

As a result, the 59 transform AFS Network organizations, have evolved and grown over the past 69 years to meet this still-growing demand. Today, AFS leads the field in terms of offering state-of-the-art intercultural student educational programming incorporated into a variety of study exchange abroad and exchange experiences.

AFS: A lifelong intercultural family affair Rethinking the role of AFS host families was a major goal of the AFS Methodology Review Project in 2014. Project recommendations focused on aligning the “loving family” home stay experience with AFS’ intercultural learning objectives. But for some host families, like the Brehms, building cross-cultural relationships is an important calling for the entire family. When Ilse Brehm made her AFS trek from Germany to North Dakota, USA in 1956, she never imagined this would spark a lifetime connection. First, Ilse married AFS alumnus Burkhart Ernst Brehm (Germany to Texas, USA, 1952). Then all three of their daughters went on AFS Programs. Eva traveled to Mexico. Karin went to Norway. Elke studied in Italy.

8 AFS takes on community changemaking

Most of the time, intercultural learning at AFS is associated with a study abroad experience and global citizenship education. But aren’t intercultural challenges and learning moments an inevitable part of our everyday lives, our classrooms and public spaces?

The Intercultural Learning in Our Own Backyard contest was launched as an AFS Network-wide changemaking initiative, encouraging our member organizations to increase intercultural awareness through public events in their local communities. Here are the four inspirational winning events for 2014:

29 AFS mission

AFS is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organization that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.

AFS values

AFS enables people to act as responsible, global citizens working for peace and understanding in a diverse world. It acknowledges that peace is a dynamic concept threatened by injustice, inequity, and intolerance.

AFS seeks to affirm faith in the dignity and worth of every human being and of all nations and cultures. It encourages respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms without distinction as to race, sex, language, religion or social status.

AFS activities are based on our core values of dignity, respect for differences, harmony, sensitivity, and tolerance.
