General information about Youth Exchanges:
Youth exchanges are dynamic programs that bring together young people from different countries to share experiences, ideas, and cultures. Through these exchanges, participants engage in various activities, workshops, and projects that promote cross-cultural understanding, personal growth, and the development of essential life skills.
By fostering international friendships and collaboration, youth exchanges inspire a sense of unity, open-mindedness, and european/global citizenship among the next generation, preparing them to be active contributors to a diverse and interconnected world.
