An International Youth Gathering is designed to give the participants a deeper knowledge of the nature, culture, history, social character and family life of the hosting country. In addition to the social nature of the program, it is an essential part of the endeavor of our association to create contacts across borders and to reach mutual understanding and peaceful relations with people from other countries. Attendance at the IYG is restricted to youth between the ages of 15 to 17 years, with each National IPA Section being allowed to send two youths.
Maximum attendance is capped at fifty young persons.
See below or contact your Region Secretary for futher information. The IPA British Section will be hosting the 2001 IYG from 8 July through 22 July 2001. The first week will be within the historic Durham Castle. The school has a wide range of sports suitable for both sexes. The 2001 IYG is for teenagers of IPA members who are between the ages of 15 and 17 years inclusive.
