A holistic approach to educationThe mission of YFU organisations worldwide is to foster intercultural learning through long term youth exchanges. In Europe, each year over 2,500 teenagers participate in yearlong youth exchanges organised by YFU. Their experience abroad, integrating into a new family and school, making new friends and learning a new language, is a profound one where they are challenged to develop intercultural competences. They are accompanied in this process by dedicated staff and volunteers that form the worldwide YFU network. The seminar ‘Approaching education’ aims to develop a coherent educational approach based on current developments in intercultural dialogue and learning for young people and youth workers for the YFU network and will bring together 25 participants from 13 countries in Prague, the Czech Republic to explore together the concept of a 'learning organisation' and how this can be fostered.
