The Commission's policies, with which the AEFC tries to align itself, allow students who have access to internships in non-national territories where they develop a greater awareness of the European dimension, gain work experience in environments different from those in the country of origin, develop communication skills, assertiveness, autonomy, ability to work in accordance with the different cultural backgrounds of the country of origin and gain an elan and present an added value, through the acquired experience, for future companies and employing institutions. These are students who, coming from underprivileged backgrounds, socially and economically, will be able to function as models for the community and role models for the sending entity in relation to students in similar circumstances. We intend, above all, to blur differences and provide trainees from all backgrounds with the opportunity to grow individually and professionally.
