Students fly out
Exchange trips are always very good news when it comes to
exposing young minds to positive influences. Like all travel,
they widen horizons and introduce foreign cultures. But
unlike casual holidays, exchanges have structure and purpose.
They
give students a goal and can form a very constructive part
in personal development. The Federation has been running
regular exchanges since the 80s and has an extensive network
of international
partners in around 20 different countries including the
US, Australia, South Africa, Korea
and of course in mainland China. Dragonair are sponsoring the
First World Chinese Youth Forum which will take 300 young people
to Beijing in September and Northwest
Airlines backed the Global Citizenship programme in New York last
June. Cathay Pacific Airways sponsor several trips including the
annual International Wilderness Experience Programme which is taking
place right now at the Entabeni Game Reserve in Johannesburg. Last
month the Leadership 21 Youth in LegCo Study Tour went to visit
Queensland's Youth Parliament and as you can see from the picture,
it involved wildlife too. Certainly there was much more than just
dry debate. Some of the participants told us the story. Read all
about it...
