Expanded Programme

In our YOUROPE wagon all the passengers come from many different countries. We all have Scout groups in which we are active and committed. We split up into a few compartments (i.e. groups) where each compartment comprises about eight Scouts of various nationalities. Each compartment invents and implements its own youth-related project: The passengers of a compartment jointly develop a Scout activity in the form of an expanded programme. Each of the participants implements this programme with their own Scout group at home. Like this, a compartment gathers perspectives from many different cultures, as each of the passengers along with their Scout group comes from another background!

YOUROPE then consists of these few compartments, where each of them has put into action its very own expanded programme. Through these few different approaches, we Scouts will gather a colourful variety of answers to our questions.

and – last but not least – goes on a fantastic train ride on the trans-Siberian railway!
