The Initiative for Intercultural Learning (IFIL) is an independent, non-partisan and non-profit organisation run by students and young professionals. We offer Study Trips targeted mainly at young people to destinations all around the globe as a mean to foster intercultural exchange und understanding. The Study Trips are organized by other enthusiastic young people with our support and guidance, to a region of their own choice.We understand culture in a broad way: In the context of a guiding theme, participants of our Study Trips meet up with exponents of politics, society, science and the economy and get to discuss matters that make up the core of a region's characteristics. Furthermore, every study trip includes one or more workshops with local youth: It is our goal that people who attend our journeys do not only passively consume a country's story and sights but also make an active contribution by opening up their views and perspectives to persons of their own age. This allows the exchange to bidirectional, which it should be by definition, and provides the local youth with the chance to meet people from other parts of the world too as well as to deepen their understanding of foreign cultures.IFIL accompanies its Study Trip organizers from the initial spark of an idea through the detailed planning of a journey, its implementation and successful completion with helpful tips and tools. We provide training and coaching, a legal framework, coordinated marketing efforts as well as technical and administrative support. Thereby we ensure the high quality of our Intercultural Study Trips. IFIL pursues its goals in strict political and ideological independence and is run entirely by volunteers. The Initiative is based in Berne, Switzerland.
