Shared topics, new cultures and experience-based learning at KÖZ-Pont.

What is a youth exchange and youth training?

Youth exchanges and youth trainings are international programmes in which young people from different countries meet, work through a topic together, get to know new cultures, and learn from each other through experience-based, non-formal methods.

These programmes do not take place in traditional school settings: participants connect with each other through interactive sessions, group work, conversations, creative tasks, community programmes and cultural occasions.

The role of KÖZ-Pont

KÖZ-Pont Youth Association regularly organises and delivers international youth exchanges and youth trainings, as well as programmes that bring together young Hungarians from across the border.

It is important to us that participants are not merely present at these occasions, but connect with each other through real community experiences.
