Description
The “Young Ambassadors Programme” (YAP) is part of the four-year programme “Addressing Europe’s Unfinished Business” (AEUB) and aims to enable participation of young representatives in the annual Conference held in Caux, Switzerland and further involvement in other activities of the Initiatives of Change (IofC) network.
The YAP is an excellent opportunity to give a voice to young Europeans, passionate about building a common future based on European values. Young Ambassadors will be invited to contribute to and promote a richer understanding of mutual beliefs, values, identity, history and cultures through a collective learning experience during the whole programme. To take part in this experience constitutes a unique occasion to enrich oneself and others ethically and culturally through the sharing of personal experiences. Young Ambassadors will be offered the possibility to learn and exchange knowledge with passionate Europeans in an inspiring place, to bring their testimony back to their countries and work on a change.
