Culture charity EIL Intercultural Learning launches €100,000 overseas learning fund

An Irish charity which promotes overseas learning and volunteering has launched a €100,000 fund to send the global leaders of tomorrow abroad next year.

Cork-based EIL Intercultural Learning has invited young people to apply for a slice of its new EIL Explore scheme which will fund educational travel or volunteering abroad for 34 young people aged over 16.

Eco tourism in Mexico and high school exchanges in Japan are among the schemes which may be considered.
