"Young Voices for Europe" is a week-long international youth exchange that brings together young people from Germany, France and Poland to creatively express their perspectives on Europe—through music, self-built instruments, and their own voices as symbols of identity and engagement.
Throughout the week, participants will take part in hands-on workshops, intercultural activities and collaborative music-making. They will build instruments from recycled materials, explore European values and youth participation, and co-write an original song about Europe that reflects their hopes for a diverse, united and youth-driven future.
The programme includes songwriting sessions, interactive EU workshops, cultural evenings and a final performance showcasing their self-made instruments and the jointly composed "Europe Song".
Expected outcomes include strengthened intercultural friendships, a deeper understanding of European issues, and a creative, musical statement for a democratic and inclusive Europe.

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.
The EJBM regularly offers various international youth exchanges in Magdeburg with different topics and learning objectives.
