We are excited to invite young people from Macedonia to join, a unique international youth exchange that brings together young people from across Europe to live, learn, and grow together!
Topic:GenEU: United We Play
Location: Alicante, Spain
Date: 21 August – 29 August 2025
Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brings together young people from across Europe! The “GenEU: United We Play” youth exchange will be held in the beautiful coastal city of Alicante, Spain, from August 21 to August 29, 2025.
This 9-day program will gather 30 young participants and group leaders from five different countries: Spain, France, Italy, Poland, and Macedonia. It’s a unique opportunity for young people aged 13 to 15 to come together in an international setting to explore big ideas through play, creativity, and shared experiences.
During this time, they’ll explore topics like identity, inclusion, empathy, diversity, and active citizenship through a variety of interactive workshops, games, and group projects — all while forming lasting friendships and discovering new cultures.
This youth exchange is part of the European Citizenship Academy (ECA) project which aims to engage young people and youth organizations in the democratic process and society by offering training, developing exchanges and encouraging meetings, discussion and debate, to help them identify their link with the EU, its values and its democratic foundations, in a word to accompany them in becoming actively aware of their European citizenship.
