Youth Exchange
Another existing societal structure that we use to ADD-ON Youth Leadership to take it to an entirely different level … beyond lukewarm sightseeing and shopping with very short and shallow experiences at high cost, effort and travel emissions. Youth exchanges as HIGHLIGHT of multi-year youth-led project partnerships to change lives and land > add passion, purpose, pre-exchange planning and post-exchange follow-up that make a far richer learning experience, and eventual flight emissions are worthy of this initiation into experiencing Life on this Living Planet.
