International Youth Exchange

International Youth Exchange refers to programs that allow young people from different countries to travel and live with host families, attend schools, or participate in cultural activities abroad. The goal is to promote cultural understanding, increase global awareness, and foster personal growth. Participants gain firsthand experience of different cultures, build friendships, and develop skills such as language proficiency and adaptability. These exchanges can last from a few weeks to a year and often involve a reciprocal arrangement, where a youth from the host country may visit the participant's country in return, further enriching the experience.
