Eligible activities
Youth Exchanges
-
Youth Exchanges are meetings of groups of young people from at least two different countries to jointly implement a non-formal learning project (workshops, exercises, debates, role-plays, simulations, outdoor activities, etc.) on a topic of interest to them, drawing inspiration from the European Youth Objectives.
Preparatory visits
-
They are complementary activities. Their purpose is to prepare the main activities (administrative arrangements, fostering a climate of trust and understanding, creating a stable partnership between the organisations and individuals involved) in order to ensure the high quality of the activities. In the case of activities involving young people with fewer opportunities, the preparatory visit should ensure that the specific needs of these participants are met.
Eligible Participants
-
Youth Exchange activities are open to young people between 13 and 30 years old. Each national team should consist of at least 4 people plus a leader. The Programme also provides support for facilitators and facilitators where they are deemed necessary. Team leaders, coordinators and facilitators must be at least 18 years old.
All participants in activities must reside in the country of the sending or host organisation.
