EYE Opener - Training course on empowerment in youth exchanges

Description

The training course aims to develop youth exchanges within the context of the Youth in Action programme and to stimulate the full participation of young people in the entire exchange process.  The course focuses on the use of youth-adult pairing to help facilitate the learning experience.

YFU Perspective

This will allow YFU organisations to see youth exchanges from a different perspective (i.e. from outside of YFU) and to share ideas and good practice with others who are currently, or are about to become, involved in youth exchanges.
