Between April 28 and May 4, 2025, Cristuru Secuiesc will host a special international youth exchange with participants from France, Germany, and Romania. Once again, our small town will come alive with the energy and diversity of young people working, learning, and growing together.

The exchange will focus on three main thematic blocks:

• Citizenship: raising awareness among young people about civic challenges, developing societal skills, and organizing a public debate day.
  
  
• Cultural encounters: meeting local community actors and engaging in linguistic and intercultural activities.
  
  
• Educational activities: thematic workshops where participants will creatively process their learning through methods such as digital storytelling.
  
  

One of the special aspects of the exchange program is that the participating young people will engage in direct dialogue with decision-makers, bringing them closer to understanding the true meaning of political participation and social responsibility.
The invited decision-makers include Konc Hunor János , Mayor of Cristuru Secuiesc, Faluvégi Bartha Noémi , City Council Member of Cristuru Secuiesc, and Dávid Endre , Deputy Mayor of Odorheiu Secuiesc.

The program’s goals are:

• To introduce different aspects of citizenship to young people from different countries.
  
  
• To foster international friendships and develop intercultural competencies.
  
  
• To offer a space for dialogue about different visions of freedom, civic participation, and citizenship.
  
  
• To equip young people with key knowledge and tools to become conscious, active, and responsible citizens.
  
  

This event is a great opportunity for participants to enrich their knowledge, broaden their perspectives, and feel empowered to actively take part in civic and political life – both within their local communities and internationally.
