People on the Move

YOUTH EXCHANGES

Youth Exchanges are the heart of Erasmus+ mobility — short-term adventures where groups of young people from different countries come together to live, learn, and create as one community. They provide a safe, international space for exploring important topics, discovering new cultures, and practising cooperation through non-formal education.

What it is

A 5–21-day group learning experience abroad.
Young people (aged 13–30) work together on a chosen theme — such as environment, media literacy, entrepreneurship, or wellbeing.
Activities include workshops, outdoor challenges, cultural nights, games, debates, and creative projects.

What you gain

Intercultural awareness & friendships across borders.
Skills in teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and creativity.
A stronger sense of European identity and active citizenship.

Who it’s for

Young people who want to explore new ideas and cultures.
Youth leaders and facilitators support groups in their learning journey.

ICDET Focus

ICDET both hosts and sends groups to youth exchanges across Europe. In Sofia and other Bulgarian cities, we design exchanges that are interactive, inclusive, and fun, empowering participants to express themselves, challenge stereotypes, and bring their learning back home to their communities.
