AIPC Pandora has a large experience of 16 years in International Education for young people and belong to the strongest international AFS/Sentio and Federation EIL networks. We create and develop critical international education programs focused on the main global issues today, allowing young people to build up their own path towards Global Citizenship and developing all sort of skills and competencies at the international level that allows them to critical issues such as this one. Our main focus on the development of our mission is to offer access to international education and its enormous potential in term of youth empowerment, to those with higher potential but coming from unprivileged backgrounds. We specially work with our partners in the US and Germany, building up scholarship programs that allow this mentioned objective.















Our partners in the US are World Learning o Student Diplomacy Corps, PrepforPrep o Sponsor For Educational Opportunity o Opportunity Network


These organizations are working for more than 50-90 years in the US ensuring diversity, breaking discrimination causes for racial, geographical, physical or intellectual aspects by offering amazing international opportunities accompanied by training and mentorship to this young people. A very clear example is how the US has had a black president for 8 years.

AIPC Pandora develops different type of programs, Inbound and Outbound Programs working with more than 700 students a year. For the inbound ones, were we receive students from all over the world from our partner organizations, we expose our students to different themes and situations in order to make them learn and understand about the critical issues we are facing today.

These groups of students are multicultural from all over the world, they normally have received a scholarship to participate in our programs, base in their potential and good performance in academia and transversal issues.
For the outbound part, we offer programs all over the world, normally based in different themes, where solidarity is central, volunteering and local engagement allow the students to understand and develop all the skills that develop their intercultural and international citizenship. To be able to reach all these students out, we have created a large community of schools, universities, technical schools and partnership with different NGO working with unprivileged young people.
