Youth in action

Youth in Action is a European Union program for youth. Aims to inspire a sense of active European citizenship, solidarity and tolerance among young Europeans and their involvement in shaping the future of the European Union. The program promotes mobility within and beyond European borders, non-formal education, intercultural dialogue, and encourages the inclusion of all young people, regardless of their educational, social or cultural.

The European Exchange is a project which brings together groups of young people from two or more countries, providing them the opportunity to discuss and confront various themes, whilst learning about the country and culture of each. A European exchange based on a transnational partnership between two or more promoters from different countries.

The European Exchange allows one or more groups of youths are hosted by a group from another country, in order to participate in a joint program of activities. These projects involve the active participation of young people and are designed to allow them to discover and become aware of different social and cultural realities, should also contribute to the development of entrepreneurship and European citizenship.

The European exchanges allow young people to gain experience outside their national context, allowing them to compare and share different social and cultural contexts, promoting thus mutual learning, by actively participating in a number of activities of common interest.

The European exchanges allow young people to "live" in Europe, reinforcing thus European citizenship.
