By offering young people the chance to participate in youth exchanges, they can acquire new cultural experiences that are often absent from their daily lives. This opportunity enables them to not only explore a different country and culture while meeting new individuals, but also to engage in a learning journey guided by their youth workers, who emphasize various learning moments along the way. If young people miss out on this chance during their formative years, they may conform to societal norms. Keeping in line with our main Goals of Making our community more inclusive, Feeling a sense of European belonging Acting in solidarity to issues that cause discrimination and conflict. Our main objectives within our European work are the following. 1. To enhance young peoples opportunities in society through European collaboration and engagement.

As the sense of been European rather than just Irish can get lost with young people who live in disadvantaged areas also the sense of solidarity gets lost as sometimes those who need it most can lose faith in what solidarity is.
