Location: Verdun / Metz, France

This youth exchange is designed for young people who want to explore democracy, active citizenship, historical memory, and youth participation in Europe while building meaningful international connections in a dynamic and inspiring environment.

The project will be divided into two parts: the first phase will take place in Verdun, where participants will explore the project topics, take part in interactive workshops, open discussions, and intercultural activities focused on youth engagement, historical memory, peace building, and European values.

The second phase will take place in Metz, where participants will visit local European institutions, discover new perspectives on European integration, and experience democracy and active civic participation at the heart of Europe.

Through non-formal learning methodology, international cooperation, and collaborative activities like audiovisual creations, participants will develop leadership, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills while discovering how young people can actively shape Europe’s future and tackle global challenges.

If you want to experience a diverse international environment, exchange innovative ideas, develop new personal and professional skills, and become part of a network of active young Europeans, this youth exchange is for you!

Participants must attend the entire project!

Age of participants: 18-30

Accommodation and meals during the project will be free of charge. Travel expenses will be reimbursed according to Erasmus+ rules after the project.
