All in Exchange: Annual Youth in Action Event 2024
During the morning, we will hold a dialogue on best practices and shared challenges in exchange projects in cooperation with beneficiaries. In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to choose from one of the focal topics “Inclusion”, “Participation” and “Project development”. Using practical examples, we would like to show you how you and your organisation can actively involve a broad spectrum of young people in your projects and structure them. Find out how you can start or expand your cooperation with Movetia!
There will also be the opportunity to learn from each other, share project examples and engage in dialogue through moderated networking. Catering will of course be provided. Those attending in the afternoon are also welcome to join us for lunch.
All in Exchange is aimed at all those active in youth work, from young volunteers to experienced professionals. Participation is free of charge. The event will be held bilingually in German and French.
The event location is barrier-free. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the location or other special needs (e.g., sign language interpreters). We will try to find solutions in any case and to facilitate your participation in the event. Contact: youth@movetia.ch.
We look forward to your registration!

| 13:30 | Selection of focal topics (parallel) • Inclusion Who participates in youth work programmes and who does not? What is the reason for this? Are there ways to structure my projects more openly? This focal topic delves deeper into the topic of inclusion and is intended to provide food for thought as well as new practical guidelines. • Participation The participation of young people in society is a central concern of youth work in Switzerland, and the involvement of young people in all project phases is a basic condition for the organisation of projects supported by Movetia. This focal topic presents possibilities for youth participation in different contexts and provides inspiration for implementing them. • Project development for beginners – non-formal learning This focal point is aimed at those interested in learning more about Movetia’s youth mobility programmes and the planning and implementation of an exchange project. An overview of Movetia’s existing programmes will be followed by a discussion of non-formal learning and various project implementation options. |
