Mission Statement
ASSE's mission is to foster international understanding through educational and cross cultural programs.
Description
The history of ASSE goes back to 1938 when the Swedish Ministry of Education instituted an exchange program for Swedish and German students. In the post World War II era, this was expanded to include Great Britain, France, Spain, and Switzerland and later the United States, where ASSE was established in 1976, by the Swedish Government, as the American Scandinavian Student Exchange. Soon Denmark, Norway and Finland elected to participate. Since then, the program has grown to include many additional countries such as Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Czech Republic, Estonia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and many more.
