Great to see the AFS Club in Brussels growing! Kudos for this amazing initiative to celebrate the #AFSeffect 💫 💥 🌐
Many of us currently working for the #EuropeanUnion, just like Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, are #AFSers. We took part in a high-school exchange programme that has been shaping thousands of people's lives since the end of World War II. Formative is a bit of an understatement. In my case, it was transformative. In the early days, exchanges were only between Europe and the United States, but in the 1980's the programe expanded everywhere. I was an AFSer from Portugal to Belgium-Flanders in the school year 87/88. In the beginning we used to sing "From New York to L.A., AFS is the way", now we can also sing "From Japan to Brasil, AFS is a thrill' 😎 With the help of Michele Pescolloni we are trying to revive the AFS Club in Brussels. Are you an AFSer too, wishing to meet others? Then fill in this form and join us: https://lnkd.in/ejQE52ME Intercultural salutions!
