As part of the celebrations for the YCW Centenary, a series of exchanges were organized between the participants and KAJ (Flemish Belgium), CAJ (Germany), JOC Wallonia (French Belgium), and JOC Spain. These initiatives were designed to foster meaningful connections between young members of the movement and to strengthen the spirit of international solidarity that has always been central to the YCW’s mission.

Throughout these exchanges, young people had the opportunity to share their lived realities—both the challenges they face and the hopes they hold in their daily lives, communities, and workplaces. In doing so, they not only learned from one another’s experiences but also deepened their understanding of the different social and cultural contexts in which the YCW operates.
