Camps should take place outside Afghanistan but within the region, be three weeks in length, and have a gender-balanced participant slate. PAS intends to issue an award for a period of 36 months. Since 2011, PAS has sponsored a variety of camps in Turkey and India to assist Afghan youth in improving their English language skills. The programs have varied in length and group composition, but all have supported opportunities for young men and women to improve their English, work in a cooperative environment, and build inter-cultural sensitization.
