EIL UK is a registered charity that specialises in increasing cultural awareness and understanding.

We are part of an international federation of partner organisations which since 1937 has been breaking down barriers to mutual understanding by bringing together people from different cultures.

Our range of programmes involves people of all ages from a variety of different communities. We have a track record of working with young people, including those who are disadvantaged, both nationally and internationally. We are currently expanding this area of work and in particular programmes which improve community cohesion and integration.

WYSTC 2009 was held in Manchester, England from September 22 - 25. This was the 18th annual World Youth Student and Travel Conference but the first time it has been hosted in the United Kingdom. With over 100,000 university students and one of the largest populations of international students in Europe, Manchester was a very fitting venue for what many consider one of the key trade events for organizations involved with youth, student and educational travel.
