AIA membership dues are only €35 per year for a family and include many benefits: a monthly newsletter, scheduled weekly and monthly events for children and adults alike, and celebrations of typical North American holidays. We also offer regular playgroups for children and coffee mornings for adults.


ImageAIA members share the collective knowledge they have gained living abroad on such issues as schooling, health care, working and daily living. AIA's online message board can get your question or announcement out to most of our 100 member families. There really is no better way of quickly getting connected in Strasbourg.
