Young Club

Friendship Force Solothurn, Switzerland, is a small club with at least two generations

Mostly families with children/young people Younger generation is between 10 and 22

years old In 2013 was the first inbound exchange

organized by the „younger generation“

Friendship Force Solothurn

What do young people like?

Being spontaneous Adventures Explore things on their own Be free Seeing something new

Normal FF Exchanges

The trip is planned a long time before Fix program Usually just a little free time A lot of museums, typical sightseeing

spots Mostly elderly people, no mix of

generations

How can we make an exchange through Friendship Force for young

people more attractive?

Ideas

Mix of generations: Involving the kids and grandkids of the elderly generation

Mix of activities: Museums, hiking, swimming..

Mix of free time and fix schedule Shorter more spontaneous trips (e.g.

weekend trips)
