What is SYLE
(Servas Youth Language/Learning Experience)
SYLE is a special EXPERIENCE inside SERVAS. It is a PROGRAM, flexible and adaptable, to be agreed between Coordinator-Hosting-Travelling Members.
In Servas there are four active programs:
1. SYLE for YOUTH (Ages 18 TO 30). Enabling learning a language or another interest, while hosted.
2. JUNIOR SYLE (Ages 14 TO 18). A hosting program, in a family with a young member of these ages. The SYLE team assists in locating the hosting family. The program itself is agreed and directly coordinated between two families – the young traveler’s family and the hosting family.
3. YOUTH EXCHANGE (Ages 18-30). A hosting/travelling program between young members.
4. SYLE + VOLUNTEERING. The program incorporates in the stay a volunteering experience aimed to learning more about the hosting country (human rights, immigration, peace building, climate subjects, etc.).
