From 2004 till today Orfeas organised 7 multilateral youth exchange projects inviting more than 350 young people and cooperated with more than 35 youth organisations all over Europe. Orfeas Xylokastro office coordinates 3 long-term voluntary (EVS) projects and one short-term project with   the assistance of Xylokastro municipality.
