	Global Xchange aims to support the development of active global citizens, committed to working for positive change. Global Xchange is an exchange programme that brings young people from the UK and from other countries to live alongside each other and work together as volunteers so they can share their learning with their host communities. Developed out of a highly successful VSO exchange programme called 'World Youth', Global Xchange seeks to support the advancement of a global perspective among young people. The programme is a partnership between, British Council, Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) and Youth for Christ (YfC) Akure, Ondo State. Global Xchange works with teams of up to 18 young people (aged 18-25), with equal numbers coming from the UK and from Nigeria. The participants (volunteers) are recruited, and the teams are formed, to reflect diversity in terms of geography, ethnicity, ability, education and gender. Together, in cross-cultural counterpart pairs, they live with host families and work in host communities, for up to 3 months in the UK and 3 months in Nigeria. They also work on a global citizenship project specifically aimed at raising awareness of development and diversity within their host communities We are inviting applications from individuals interested in participating in the Global Xchange project due to commence in September 2008.
