Design your Youth Exchange

"Design your Youth Exchange" is a Training Course about how to successfully organise and design an international youth exchange with the Erasmus+ Youth program. During the one-week training, we will improve our ideas, gain the necessary expertise and create a suitable project design to implement a youth exchange.

With the expertise acquired, each participant should be enabled to draft an application and develop a suitable project for our specific target groups, especially for young people with fewer opportunities.
