Exchanges

International learning experiences that bring together young people from several countries around a shared topic.

Participants in an international youth exchange

What we do

Youth exchanges allow groups of young people to live, learn and work together for a short period. Through non-formal education, every participant develops autonomy, intercultural skills and European awareness.

A group experience

Programmes combine workshops, group dynamics, visits and intercultural moments. They are neither tourist trips nor traditional school activities.

  • Peer learning
  • Contact with other cultures
  • Active participation at every stage

CHECK-IN support

The team supports preparation, travel, participation and final evaluation, including meetings with participants and guardians when necessary.

Participation by minors

Some youth exchanges welcome participants under 18. Each opportunity states its age range, required authorisations, support and participation conditions. The CHECK-IN team can answer questions from young people and their guardians before an application.
