This youth exchange is designed for young people who want to explore cultural heritage, strengthen intercultural understanding, and take an active role in shaping the future of their communities.

Participants will take part in interactive workshops, discussions, creative activities, and collaborative projects focused on discovering and promoting intangible cultural heritage. Through practical experiences and peer learning, you will explore traditions, cultural expressions, local knowledge, and community values, while learning why protecting cultural heritage is important for sustainable development and social connection.

The programme focuses on encouraging intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and active youth participation in decision-making processes related to cultural heritage and community development. Participants will also discover how intangible cultural heritage can inspire local entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovative community initiatives.

If you want to connect with cultures, preserve traditions, and turn heritage into inspiration for positive change, this project is for you!
