Our popular International Youth Gatherings are a chance for the children or grandchildren of IPA members to take part in an action-packed 2-week programme.
Hosted annually by a different IPA section, around fifty 16-17 year olds are invited to participate and enjoy various activities to encourage an ‘international spirit’, and often strong, long-lasting friendships are formed.
Past IYG's have included activities such as:
- Visits to theme parks
- City tours
- Boat trips
- Activities such as paintballing, raft building and kayaking
- Safaris
- Trips to famous sports venues
- Visits to the local police facilities
Recent IYG’s have taken place in Croatia, UK, South Africa, France and Spain.
The next IYG’s will take place in Czech Republic & Slovakia in 2020, and Austria in 2021.
