The Municipal Exchange Plan was launched in 1996 and since then has involved more than 6,000 young people.

These activities, mostly financed by the European Union, promotes the formation mobility of young people because, as attested to studies, young Europeans with such experiences in their youth are more likely to be mobile in future working life, increasing employment opportunities.
