Indeed, every year National Agencies host several training courses on Youth Exchanges, focusing on:

– quality criteria for a successful Youth Exchange
– management competences to increase the quality of future Youth Exchanges
– understanding the whole logic of the life cycle of a youth exchange project
– participation and learning opportunities of the young people
– how to pay extra attention to the equal partnership and encourage partners to plan, prepare, implement and report the project together.

Youth Exchanges
Youth Exchanges are a great opportunity for youngsters as they allow groups of people from different countries to meet, live together and work on shared projects for short periods. Furthermore the activities carried out are different and meaningful, such as:

• workshops,
• exercises,
• debates,
• role-plays,
• outdoor activities.

Youth exchanges last between 5 and 21 days (excluding traveling time). They are open to people between the ages of 13 and 30. In addition it is also possible to apply as group leader if at least 18 years old. Youth organisations and informal groups of young people are the players that manage Youth Exchanges.
