GENERAL

 

You will go abroad as an ambassador of your country and your country will be judged by your conduct.  It is important that your actions serve this objective as much as possible.

The aim of your journey is to put you in contact with people from other countries in order to get to know their way of life, way of thinking and their culture.  Thus you contribute to the promotion of understanding among people in the best IPA tradition.  You must establish and maintain contacts with foreign young people.  In other words, you must be a “good mixer”.

Each participant will be asked to write a report about the experiences accumulated during the Gathering.  The use of alcohol and drugs are strictly forbidden.  If the Organisers consider your conduct inappropriate, you will immediately be sent home.
