YOUTH EXCHANGES

Youth Exchanges allow young people to develop competences, to become aware of social issues, discover new cultures, traditions, lifestyles mainly through learning among peers. The learning process is realized through not formal ways of education. Youth Exchange offers an experience of international mobility with the safety of a group and the possibility of relying on an appropriate number of group responsibles who take care of the participants.
