The second part of the Scottish/French youth exchange will take place in Scotland. The same 12 young people from Clackmannanshire will return to Scotland to play host to their French twinning partner from 11th to 19th July.

Scottish/Spanish Exchange

The second part of the Scottish/Spanish youth exchange will take place in Spain. The same 12 young people from Clackmannanshire will travel to Espartinas to stay with their twinning partner from 11th to 19th July.

Programme

All young people taking part in the exchange visits are expected to take part in a programme of planned activities in Clackmannanshire and abroad.

Key Aims

The key aims of the exchange are to experience everyday life in either France of Spain, learn about different cultures and customs, and improve foreign language skills.

More information

A basic knowledge of French or Spanish would be useful but is not essential.

2 experienced Council employees will accompany each of the 2 groups of 12 young people from Clackmannanshire going to France and Spain. Each of the French and Spanish groups will also be accompanied by 2 adults from the twin towns.

Although the youth exchange will be subsidised, participating families will be expected to pay a contribution of £250 towards overall costs.
