The Youth Exchange programme is based on the first object of Lions:
"To create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world"
The Youth Exchange programme began in 1961 and is committed to broadening international awareness among young people worldwide. The programme emphasises the value of sharing and community life in another country; it is not about tourism.
A Window on the World of Youth Exchange...
...is about hosting youngsters coming into this country ...and sending our young people abroad also....young people deserve the opportunity to learn how other cultures 'tick'...... young people of quality will gain by the learning experience... enhancing international understanding at a formative age ......giving young people in our community a better chance of understanding of the world they are entering.
