ASAPI Attends Meeting of European Study Abroad Assocations

Representatives from European Country Study Abroad Associations in Geneva. ASAPI, represented by co-Chair Stephen Robinson of Champlain College, attended a meeting of European Country Study Abroad associations recently.  The meeting was hosted by Webster University in Geneva, and was attended by representatives of country associations from Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, and Ireland.  Delegates discussed the development of a Europe-wide study abroad association to share information, provide training, and lobby the EU government, and to provide support for all of those who affect the study abroad experience in Europe.  The group will be presenting at the CIEE Conference in Berlin in November, and will hold another group meeting at the conference.  For more information, please contact Stephen Robinson at srobinson (at) champlain.edu.
