Youth Exchanges bring together groups of young people from two or more countries, providing them with an opportunity to meet and learn about different countries and cultures. The Youth in Action Programme provides funding for Youth Exchanges for 13-25 year olds together with their youth leaders, for exchanges between 6 and 21 days.
Youth Exchanges involve partnerships between two (bi-lateral), three (tri-lateral) or more countries (multilateral). These exchanges must have a good balance of learning and fun activities, enabling the group to explore a chosen theme through non formal learning.
