What is a youth worker exchange?
Youth worker exchanges are part of the European Erasmus+ programme which offers opportunities to organise projects for the mobility of young people and youth workers. For youth workers, organisations can take part in opportunities to support the professional development, capacity building, network of youth workers and thereby the development of quality youth work at local, regional, national, European and international level, through non-formal and informal learning experiences in mobility. More specifically, mobility projects for youth workers aim to:
- Provide non-formal and informal learning opportunities for educational and professional development of youth workers;
- Build a community of youth workers that can support the quality of projects and activities for young people in EU programmes and beyond;
- Develop local youth work practices and contribute to capacity building for quality youth work of the participants and their organisation, having a clear impact on the participating youth workers' regular work with young people.
