AFS India, by the end of year 2007 would have defined desired educational results and learning indicators for participants (e.g. sojourners, families, schools and other local organizations); that way, by 2008-9 will start monitoring both the short-term educational outcomes and life-long impact of the AFS experience on national and foreign participants, thus clarifying how the educational results are achieved in each program and strengthen the appropriate learning processes.

After year 2008, AFS India will start doing research on different educational areas regarding intercultural exchanges – involving ex participants and current participants – with the cooperation of universities in the field of intercultural education.

AFS India, by 2012 will be cooperating more closely with the formal and/or informal educational sector at the local, national and regional level in order to enhance educational impact, to improve its intercultural programs and to receive recognition for our contribution to intercultural education.

AFS India will also seek to help uplift the disadvantaged minorities and groups within India, for whom educational opportunities and learning skills are not often easily accessible. This would contribute to bring on parity different sections of the society, especially those who may never have an opportunity to undertake such a mind-opening experience. AFS India would seek the active participation of other like-minded organizations, NGO´s and the government.
