WHAT IS A YOUTH EXCHANGE PROJECT?
Sounds too good to be true? Well it is true with Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges
OFFICIAL DEFINITION OF YOUTH EXCHANGE
Youth exchanges allow groups of young people from different countries to meet and live together for up to 21 days. During a youth exchange, participants carry out a joint work programme (a mix of workshops, exercises, debates, roleplays, simulations, outdoor activities, etc.) that was designed and prepared by them before the exchange.

Youth exchanges help young people to:
- develop competences
