COINED's History
COINED was founded as a non-profit organization in 1971 in Cuxhaven, Germany, by a German and an Argentinean student who met while
doing a study abroad program in an American University.
These enterprising young people created an educational-cultural study abroad program for high school students from Germany and
Argentina. Later on, the organization grew adding other study abroad programs with the objective of promoting cultural and educational
interaction.
COINED currently has offices in Germany, Spain and Argentina, and it is represented throughout the world by partner agencies and
entities, and by our participants.
