Traveling as a young person with Friendship Force
Traveling with FF II With 19 years old travelling around the world with Friendship Force Meeting some Friendship Force members again and stay with them Sending some s to different clubs to find some locals to show us around their area
Young Club Friendship Force Solothurn, Switzerland, is a small club with at least two generations Mostly families with children/young people Younger generation is between 10 and 22 years old In 2013 was the first inbound exchange organized by the „younger generation“
Friendship Force Solothurn
What do young people like? Being spontaneous Adventures Explore things on their own Be free Seeing something new
Normal FF Exchanges The trip is planned a long time before Fix program Usually just a little free time A lot of museums, typical sightseeing spots Mostly elderly people, no mix of generations
How can we make an exchange through Friendship Force for young people more attractive?
Ideas Mix of generations: Involving the kids and grandkids of the elderly generation Mix of activities: Museums, hiking, swimming.. Mix of free time and fix schedule Shorter more spontaneous trips (e.g. weekend trips)
