Twinning Youth Exchange Visits
Clackmannanshire Council's sixth youth exchange programme with our twin town in France will take place from 3rd to 19th July 2012.
Scottish/French Exchange
The first part of the Scottish/French youth exchange takes place in France. 7 young people from Clackmannanshire will travel to our French twin town of Vendargues where they spend 8 nights from 3rd to 11th July with a French person of the same age and their family.
The second part of the Scottish/French youth exchange will take place in Scotland. The same 7 young people from Clackmannanshire will return to Scotland to play host to their French twinning partner from 11th to 19th July.
Scottish/Spanish Exchange
Due to the economic situation in Spain, there will be no exchange with our Spanish twin town this year.
Programme
All young people taking part in the exchange visits will take part in a programme of planned activities in Clackmannanshire and abroad.
Key Aims
The key aims of the exchange are to experience everyday life in France, learn about different cultures and customs, and improve foreign language skills.
More information
A basic knowledge of French is useful but is not essential.
2 experienced Council employees will accompany the groups of young people from Clackmannanshire going to France. The French group will also be accompanied by 2 adults from the French twin town.
Although the youth exchange is subsidised, participating families are required to pay a contribution of £250 towards overall costs.
