Taith is Wales’ international learning exchange programme, launched in February 2022.
Taith will offer funding and support for youth organisations across Wales, with a particular focus on those who have no or limited experience of international mobility.
Taith currently has two pathways, Pathway 1 focuses on individual mobility opportunities for young people and organisations to travel outside Wales. Pathway 2 focuses on building and developing strategic partnerships with international partners for the benefit of young people and youth work in Wales.
Pathway 1
Taith Pathway 1 for Youth is currently closed to applications.
For an overview of Pathway 1 please see the Taith Programme Guide 2023.
