Youth Exchanges

Meet other European countries

Youth Exchanges are part of the European Commission’s Erasmus+ program. They are intended for young people between 18 and 25 years of age who are interested in the themed set out in the exchange. The participants live together for 5 to 21 days, taking part in activities, workshops, games, debates, dynamics – instead of a specific subject – in order to know more about different cultures and to promote the exchange of experiences and intercultural learning, through non-formal education.

There are many countries that plan youth exchanges about various subjects.
