Travel
The National Federation of Young Farmers Clubs (NFYFC) runs an International
Travel programme called DISCOVERY. Every year members travel to a wide
range of countries like Australia, Norway and South Africa, for anything
from 2 weeks to 6 months.
DISCOVERY opportunities are listed in the autumn edition of the members'
magazine 'Ten26', (which is mailed directly to all members), and members
can apply for those they are interested in through their county office.
Applicants usually have to attend an interview to secure a place on the
travel programme. For more information on current trips and availability
visit the NFYFC
website.
Hosting
Part of the discovery programme involves 'hosting' Young People from similar
organisations abroad, who are visiting the UK. Each county take turns
to play host to one or more visitors, by providing accommodation, entertainment
etc for about a week and in this way visitors get to experience day to
day life in this country while members get to learn about another country
overseas and make new friends
