About us
SU-ASEA (Stichting USED-Amsterdam-Social Enterprise Agency) is an international non-profit social enterprise founded in Amsterdam, working for the social development of young people and adults in Amsterdam. SU-ASEA is currently located in Rotterdam.
Our main objective is to promote the participation of young people through local and international mobilisations, to enrich them with intercultural learning and to promote inclusion.
Our target group is people with fewer opportunities. The main need of our target group is to recognise international mobility opportunities for young people, as well as their potential impact on their local communities and themselves. In our work we use non-formal, informal and interactive educational methods to achieve our goals.
