We have had confirmation from Jugendkulturarbeit our partners in Germany that this years European exchange visit will take place from June 15th - 26th. Members of MeWe Youth will travel to Oldenburg for a 12 day youth theatre event involving groups from 6 countries. This trip follows our highly successful visit last year. However with a longer stay and more countries being involved, it promises to be even more brilliant than before.
MeWe was invited to return because of our great work and excellent team spirit in ‘08. Most of the group fedback that it was one of the best things they’d taken part in. We made long term friends as well as amazing memories.

This best seller promoted the brilliant and simple idea that small individual actions can make a big difference.
