For your exchange to succeed and your goal(s) would be understandable for the host association you need to compile and send us your cover letter.

Cover letter

The purpose of a cover letter is to get to know why this exchange is valuable for your and host association.  It should be clear, concise and straight to the point. Down below are some points which will help you to write the cover letter:

• provide a little information about your association
• what is your association goal(s) to go abroad and participate in the exchange
• what your association have to offer and why host association should host you
• have the most up-to-date information about your association`s activities
• highlight what you specialize in
• add also dates, when you want to go abroad and how long you want to stay there
• your expectations for host association (accommodation, transport etc.)

Before you mail the cover letter, read it over again.  Special attention should be placed to ensure the letter: it is not too long, there are no grammar or spelling errors and the layout should be written in a formal style and correctly.
