International Youth Gathering (IYG) |
|
Every year young people from
around the world, siblings of IPA members, are invited to visit
another country and participate in an event that many will never
forget - the IPA's International Youth Gathering (IYG).
|
For the participants it is an opportunity
to experience travel to another country and to meet people of a
similar age from different cultures and backgrounds whilst gaining a
deeper knowledge of the history, social character, nature and family
life of the hosting country. The International Youth Gathering
programme conforms to the international spirit and
aims of the International Police Association. |

Participation in the programme is
open to the
children or grandchildren of current IPA members.
IYG participants must have reached 15 years but not have exceeded 18
years at the start of the IYG - this is to make it easier for the Organising Section to
produce an interesting and instructive programme for participants of a
similar age group.
Young
people at an IYG will be permitted without distinction as to sex,
race, colour, language or religion. |
