“When we go overseas we are involved in workshops and we discuss issues like race, religion, issues that are important in society and may cause problems. It opens your eyes and allows you to have a broad mind.”
CYEC’s participation model of young people’s ownership in developing exchange projects is a powerful vehicle for delivering youth development.
The different stages of an exchange provide exciting and challenging opportunities to deliver key ECM (Every Child Matters) and UK youth work outcomes.
