Members of ASAF share how participating in the network, alongside their Erasmus+ and Intra-Africa mobility experiences, has broadened their cultural perspectives, supported learning and self-development and helped them build connections across the continent.

“I had a vague knowledge of the ASAF network at the beginning and now that I’m getting to know the network, I think it’s very important for students and professionals alike. I’m also so happy to see that ASAF Benin takes the inclusion of people with disabilities into account. I think it’s a great opportunity and it’s very interesting for our development.”
