Intercultural Exchanges

Why?
Intercultural exchanges are a part of the youth programme set up by the European Union. They are meant to bring young people from different countries together. In this way they can learn from each other and are able to discover and explore similarities and differences between their cultures. Such an experience can help combat negative prejudices and stereotypes. Moreover, the effect of a youth exchange on the local population can give rise to more positive awareness of other cultures and have an impact not only on the young people themselves and their associations’ activities, but also on the local communities.

What is it?
A youth exchange brings together groups of young people from different backgrounds from two or more countries, providing them with an opportunity to discuss and confront various themes.

Who can participate?
