Youth in the World is an Action which aims at promoting exchanges and co-operation in the field of youth and non-formal education with other regions of the world.

It supports projects involving young people and organisations from the so-called 'Partner Countries', an expression which identifies all countries which can be involved in the Youth in Action Programme but which are not defined as 'Programme Countries'.

This measure supports Youth Exchanges - mainly multilateral but not excluding bilateral ones - which allow several groups of young people from Programme and Partner Countries to meet and take part together in a programme of activities.

It also covers the training of those active in youth work and youth organisations from Programme and Partner Countries, as well as exchanges of experiences, expertise and good practices between them. It supports activities which may lead to the establishment of long-lasting, high quality projects and partnerships.
