Afro-Asian Institute Salzburg Details
Since the 1950s the idea to bring students from the Global South together in a space for intercultural life, debate and exchange amongst themselves and with Austrians encouraged the establishment of three Afro-Asian Institutes in Austria: In Graz, Salzburg and Vienna. These spaces for exchange transformed into educational institutions with a focus on development policy, initiating and supporting intercultural and interreligious dialogue. International students are an important target group of the AAIs and a broad range of counselling, training and assistance opportunities have been developed specifically for them.Cultural and Educational ProgrammeInternational culture events, language courses, public debates, presentations and readings are examples of successful intercultural encounters. The AAI´s educational and cultural programme focuses on the concerns and manifold resources in experience and knowledge of people from the Global South. To the fore come international and global themes which affect people all around the world, for instance global equity, human rights, gender topics or conflicts.Scholarships & CounsellingWe offer all students from Africa, Asia and Latin America counselling and support a yearly group of 10-15 students from these countries who spend a part of their studies in Salzburg or Innsbruck. This includes extracurricular trainings, assistance with (re-)integration and the establishment of a global network of AAI scholars.Platform & DialogueAAI Salzburg is a platform where intercultural and interreligious ideas can be openly discussed. One of our main concerns is creating an open environment where diverse cultures and religions can come together to discuss political, social, and ideological beliefs.
