In 2003, the Armenian National Students Association and the Georgian Student’s Organizations Association agreed to establish the South Caucasus Student Confederation, which would unite both Armenian and Georgian student unions and will implement European Youth Forum regional programs.[2]
As part of the TEMPUS program, the Armenian National Students Association organizes and hosts students from EU countries to promote exchange of experience among students.[7]
