British Council Connect Youth promotes international experiences for young people in the United Kingdom

We run programmes that give young people an opportunity to experience other cultures and countries. These programmes range from group exchanges and youth initiatives to individual voluntary service. We also provide funding to help people working in the youth sector develop skills and establish contacts necessary to enhance their work. Activities are supported by funds from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, and the European Commission (Education and Culture).

These pages give you an easy guide to what we offer to young people and those working in the youth sector as well as the support and advice available from us.

Youth in Action Training Courses

The Youth in Action programme runs training courses across Europe to help you learn more about the programmes we run and develop your ideas.

Many training  courses are aimed specifically at an Action (i.e. Action 1.1 BTM training courses for youth workers new to youth exchanges) however some are aimed at the priorites of the Youth in Action programme
