What are the International Youth Games?
The International Youth Games bring young people together through sport, cultural exchange and international friendship.
Each Games gives young people the chance to represent their city, meet others from across Europe, and take part in a programme of sports, social activities and shared experiences.
The Games are about more than competition. They are about friendship, confidence, teamwork and understanding across borders.
