International meetings for young people!
Shared topics, new cultures and experience-based learning at KÖZ-Pont.
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 main aim of youth exchanges and trainings is for young people to become more open to other countries, cultures, perspectives and communities, while also developing personally:
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.
The topics of youth exchanges and trainings can be very varied – here are some examples of those we work with most often:
Shared experiences, teamwork and lasting relationships.
Participation and responsibility for the community.
A helping attitude and commitment to the community.
Acceptance, equality and awareness.
A sustainable mindset and responsible decisions.
Understanding and openness to other perspectives.
Representation skills and advocacy.
Working through real topics that affect young people.
If, as a participant, you are interested in current youth exchanges and youth trainings organised or known to us, feel free to contact us.
It is worth following our social media channels too, where we regularly post news about application opportunities, current programmes and international experiences.
