Youth In Action

Youth in Action is an ambitious programme set up by the European Commission. The aim is to engage the young people of Europe in active projects alongside other participants from different countries and cultures.

Youth Exchanges and Youth Initiatives

The European Commission have invested €1bn into the Youth In Action programme for the next 5 years. Linking Scotland up to this dynamic programme opens the doors for us to develop exciting projects alongside partners in Scotland and across Europe.

Firstly, through short-term Youth Exchanges and Youth Initiatives. These projects give groups of young people the chance to meet and work together under the same banner, expanding their horizons and building lasting relationships.

European Voluntary Service (EVS)

Secondly, we champion the long-term European Voluntary Service (EVS) scheme. EVS is a fully funded programme enabling young people to take part in a 6-12 month project in another country. Volunteers receive free accommodation, travel costs and training.
