Travelers will have the unique chance to live with welcoming host families, immersing themselves in local agriculture, lifestyles and sights. This isn’t just travel; it’s about forging deep, lasting friendships that can span continents and create unforgettable memories. Get ready to explore and connect inΒ  the spirit of rural partnership.

 

 

Northern Ireland

A two-week journey through Northern Ireland, hosted by our friendly neighbours at the Young Farmers Clubs of Ulster.

The fortnight will be jam packed with activities including farm tours, sightseeing and local Young Farmers events. You will also get the chance to attend the Balmoral Show, Northern Ireland’s premier agricultural event. Witness livestock competitions, explore local produce, and enjoy a variety of live entertainment that showcases the best of rural life.

This trip is not just about agriculture; it’s about building connections. Travelling as a pair, you will get the chance to meet members and peers who share your passion for farming and build lasting friendships.

 

Tasmania

Embark on a transformative 6-week adventure to the other side of the world and the breath-taking island of Tasmania! Through your Rural Youth Tasmania hosts you will experience a diverse array of agricultural practices while immersing yourself in the stunning landscapes and rich culture of this remarkable destination. But that’s not all! You will also be part of β€˜Agfest,’ a three-day agricultural event entirely organised by Rural Youth. You will have the chance to volunteer, meet fellow young farmers, and help showcase the best of agriculture in Tasmania.

Trip runs from late April through to early June. You must be in Tasmania for 7th May and the hosts recommend arriving a little before this so you have time to settle in before Agfest begins.
