ARRIVAL

Train tickets within Switzerland

After your arrival in Switzerland you will take a train to reach the venue. The exact name of the train station in Leysin is: LEYSIN-FEYDEY. You will have to book a train connection till there. Here are some useful information and details how to do that as soon as possible in order to pay the lowest possible rate for the trains.

Be aware that you will have to change trains several times, because there is no direct line to this small village in the mountains where we are accommodated. But don't worry, Swiss railways are pretty much well organized and punctual, so you should not have any problems with delays or cancellations. Here is the map with the most common changing points where you need to step in another train:



Remember, the regular prices of the train tickets could be even 70% higher than the options that we suggest here. These are the regular prices for the train tickets which are valid during the whole day when you buy it. You can use any connection going in the designated direction of your ticket. Even if you miss one train connection, you can wait for the next one and the ticket will still be valid until you reach Leysin-Feydey. You can buy the tickets ONLINE. Or you can buy the ticket once you land on the airport. The price will be the same.

SUPERSAVER Tickets

However, we do not advise you to take the regular trains, but to book much cheaper tickets online before you arrive, which are called SUPERSAVER TICKETS!


These tickets can be booked online two months before traveling.
It is important to know that there are limited number of tickets of this kind. Therefore, you should book the tickets as soon as possible for the arrival day on 20 August 2018 and also for going back from Leysin-Feydey to the airport on 29 August 2018.

Even more important: these tickets are different from the regular ones. Namely, the Supersaver tickets are valid ONLY for the designated times written on the ticket. This means that you will have to travel according the route stated on the ticket. You cannot take any other connections in different time than the one stated there. So please pay attention to this important information and the schedule of your train connections. When booking your tickets, take into consideration the time needed to pass through passport control, take your luggage and reach the platform (approximately 40 minutes).

After you book your train tickets online you will get them as pdf files. Please send the tickets as pdf files to Ena via email and for yourself you have them printed. (there is a option to get the tickets on your mobile phone if you like as well).

Room Check-in starts at 15:00h.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in the nice cozy hotel in Leysin.

Day 6 Update on #youthification - 26 Aug 2018

As from today the participants are taking over the stage. We are starting with the workshops that are going to be facilitated by the participants who are working in pairs. Each pair has 40 minutes time to deliver a workshop on a topic they feel most confident in. After each workshop, the pairs are receiving constructive feedback by the group and by the trainers. This feedback helps them to improve their work in the future as facilitators.  We captured the first impressions of each pair right after they came out from the session. Here you can hear their comments and learning points: Gorety & Daniela Reza & Marija Kosta & Stephanie Caterina & Kosta Jovana & Davide Barbare & Manos Goran & Vanessa Pablo & Katarina Video Summary of Day 6:

Subkult organized the training course YOUTHIFICATION in 2016 for the first time and last year in 2017 for the second edition, 32 youth workers gathered on the Swiss Alps to explore the topic of youth centers. The project in 2017 was focusing on experienced youth workers from 11 countries from Europe who are working in different kind of youth centers, youth clubs or youth structures. We are now happy to be able to organise the third edition of the project this year. The training course will take place from 20th until 29th of August 2018 in Leysin, Switzerland.

Day 1 Update on #youthification - 21 Aug 2018

Morning sunshine in Leysin with awesome warm weather! We all woke up with high expectations about the official start of the training program today. Everyone had a nice sleep after a long trip and with full enthusiasm entered the working room. After a short introduction we went outside in the nature for a “Walk & Talk”. Breathing the fresh Alp air under the shiny sun, we had an activity to ask interesting questions to each other and discover even more details about each of us. After asking the question and getting an answer, we exchange the questions on piece of paper and hand it over the person who gave us an answer, so then we look for another partner with whom we continue to ask other questions and receive even more insights of their personality. The aim of this activity is to break the walls and barriers between the group and also it is a nice start of building our group that will work together the following 7 days. After a round of one hour we went slowly to the hotel and had a
