abroad for young people

are youth aid providers, fulfil international or national
norms like the European Norm for language travels or they are
members of organizations who had developed special quality criteria
for their members and partners. You can find a list of these norms
and organizations at the quality page.

internet, while specific
additional information are provided in the
office catalogues. You may get many pieces of information

family journeys, gap years, group travel, high school visits,
