Why participate?
International experiences can be life changing. Taith mobilities enable young people to develop the key life skills and competencies they need to flourish and contribute positively to society, whilst boosting confidence and raising aspirations.
Taith is committed to providing opportunities for underrepresented groups, and we offer additional financial support for participants from disadvantaged backgrounds, Disabled participants and participants with additional learning needs, enabling those with fewer opportunities to participate in transformational experiences. With a wide range of eligible activities for individuals and groups, funding is available to benefit young people of all types, from all parts of Wales.
The values inherent to international exchange align closely with the five pillars of youth work:
- educative
- expressive
- participative
- inclusive
- empowering
International mobilities enable organisations to create opportunities in a truly participatory way, developing a programme of activities which is designed by and for the young people, and focuses on those areas they most want to explore, learn and develop. International mobilities enable young people to experience new cultures and environments, to develop key skills and competencies, and provide them with an opportunity to try new things and learn how much they are truly capable of.
For staff and volunteers, the opportunity to learn best practice from international partners can be invaluable. Taith provides opportunities for staff to learn through a range of professional development activities within Pathway 1, through to strategic collaboration projects looking to improve Youth work practice strategically through Pathway 2.
