Youth exchange from the 21st of September to the 29th of September 2026 in Spain : The Hero’s Journey

Event Description

Dear everyone,

We are so excited to share that Joyce ‘n’ Fun has been chosen as the Greek sending organisation for a Youth Exchange in Spain, and this time, we are looking for young people from Skiathos to join. 🌍

This one is for you if you want to:

  • step outside your comfort zone and discover who you are when things get a little unfamiliar;
  • explore emotional wellbeing and mental health through storytelling, creativity, and real conversation;
  • take part in workshops, outdoor activities, and intercultural evenings that don’t feel like school;
  • connect with 30 young people from five different countries on the Mediterranean coast of Spain;
  • come home with a clearer sense of yourself and something real to bring back to your community. 🌱

What ?

Youth Exchange “The Hero’s Journey” (co-financed by Erasmus+)
