Sign up for EuroCamp 2023 in Warwick and experience a summer of adventure and a design street art!
Warwick is this year’s international destination for EuroCamp 2023, an event that brings together 20 young people from Warwick and its European twin and friendship towns for two weeks of adventure and a creative project.
Organised by Warwick Town Council and its twin towns, applications are now open to find the four young people, aged between 16 and 21, to represent Warwick.
EuroCamp 2023 will run for two weeks from Sunday 23rd July through to Sunday 6th August.
The four will become ambassadors for the town and host its visitors, of the same age group, from Warwick’s twin and friendship towns of Saumur (France), Verden and Havelberg (Germany), and Formigine (Italy).
EuroCamp 2023 will be headquartered at Warwick Racecourse, with accommodation and catering included for each participant during the event. In addition to having use of the facilities at HQ, EuroCamp will deliver creative project, activities and adventure for all participants with experiences across the town and its iconic landmarks.
At the heart of EuroCamp 2023, is a collaborative and creative project that will see the participants create a unique artwork installation after being taught the street art techniques. The creative project will be led by artists who will guide the Eurocampers through the process of designing and producing a piece of street art for the town.
For the two weeks, EuroCamp will be managed by a professional youth worker, supported by a project team.
Councillor Richard Eddy, chair of the Community & Culture, Warwick Town Council, said:
“Previous EuroCamps have successfully hosted pupils from local schools and given them experience in working together with others from our twin towns on community projects, learning key skills, and aiding personal development, whether here in Warwick or in Europe. It’s also a lot of fun for everyone involved!
“From previous years, it’s evident that EuroCamp has both empowered many of our young people and provided a thoroughly entertaining summer for participants as they spend two weeks with other young people from France, Germany and Italy.
“Participants get to level up their experience, whether they want to build confidence or learn leadership skills, and, through building international friendships, there’s also the opportunity to develop language skills. Plus, they’ll be representing Warwick as an official host of EuroCamp 2023, which is going to look great on anyone’s CV or UCAS application.”
To take part in EuroCamp 2023, applicants must live in Warwick with a CV34 postcode.
