Summary
Our youth exchange program is all about learning safety precautions and practices in the topic of IT, specifically regarding social media and AI, also discovering the risks of using such technologies and websites, and last but not least having fun and meeting new people with the same interest.
If you are interested in having more knowledge about how to secure different devices and your personal information, or you want to develop the skill to detect false information, you are in the right place! This is your chance to challenge yourself, learn new skills, and make friends from around the world. Cybersecurity is a big topic to grasp, but we are sure that after this activity, you will go home with more knowledge about the subject than you have came in with.
We will tackle the topics at present in a beginner-friendly way to ensure everyone can enjoy the youth exchange.
Join us for a creative and innovative adventure through the digital landscape!

Activity Schedule
Travel
All flight, train, and bus tickets for this activity will be purchased and organized by our organization.
For flights, the fare includes only the most basic option, which permits one small backpack to be carried under the seat. Please note that there are no guarantees that participants from Portugal will travel from the nearest airport. Those traveling from Portugal may depart together from Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon.
The official travel dates for this activity are May 9th and May 18th, but participants from certain, further locations, may need to begin their journey a day earlier or return a day later due to travel logistics. Therefore if you foresee any scheduling conflicts on May 8th or May 19th, please let us know in your application.
Each country will have up to two main designated sending cities, where participants will gather to begin their journey. Participants can arrange their own travel to the meeting points in those cities. If anyone faces difficulties to reach the meeting points on their own means, please don’t hesitate to reach out, and we will work together to find a solution.
Please note that tickets for local transportation in a city (e.g., metro or shuttle bus tickets to the airport or train station) will need to be arranged by participants.
Once all participants are selected and confirm their participation, the project coordinators will work with the national group leaders to develop a final travel itinerary for each group. These itineraries will be communicated via Discord, and the travel tickets will be shared via Email and Discord.
All participants will travel to the accommodation together with a private bus from Budapest.
