Curious or uncertain? Explore the questions posed by past participants in youth exchange projects.
The duration of each youth exchange or training course varies, typically ranging from a few days to two weeks. Each project encompasses distinct paces, objectives, methodologies, and results. Experiencing at least one Erasmus youth project firsthand is essential for gaining a comprehensive understanding of their dynamics and benefits.
Accommodation and meals are usually provided during the youth exchange or training course. The only expense you might incur during your mobility is for transportation. However, fret not, as these costs are reimbursed upon completion of the project.
Prepare for an enriching blend of fun and educational activities! Throughout the project, you’ll engage in workshops, seminars, and immersive learning experiences centered around the chosen topic. Additionally, don’t miss out on the cultural evening, a fantastic opportunity to exchange experiences and traditions with fellow participants. For a comprehensive schedule, refer to the infopack or contact the organizers for detailed agenda information.
Explore cultures with Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges! Engaging in Erasmus+ youth exchange projects has many purposes: for example, broadening horizons, developing new skills, enhancing socialization between young people of different ages, and fostering understanding between different cultures from different European countries.
Participants dive into various topics: democracy, tolerance, inclusion, digital
work, equality, solidarity, mental health, young people’s problems, active citizenship, and sustainable development through active learning methods and non-formal education. If you participate in Erasmus+ projects you will learn and also improve your English skills, while Erasmus+ covers all travel, accommodation, and meals. At the end of the project, you will receive awards: a Youthpass Certificate for European recognition. Join the vibrant and active community of international youth projects and embrace new experiences with Erasmus+ projects!
Join a fun and dynamic community of young individuals from across Europe and start on an unforgettable journey through Erasmus+ youth projects. You don’t need to commit for long—youth projects typically last between 5 to 21 days (depending on the project) and bring together participants from at least two countries, sharing knowledge and experiences with peers from diverse backgrounds. Enjoy a wide range of engaging activities, including workshops, lively debates, cultural evenings, music, sports, arts, role-playing, interactions with locals, outdoor adventures, and more. Plus, your valuable learning experiences will be officially recognized with a Youthpass, a credential highlighting your achievements in youth work and solidarity initiatives.
Plus, rest assured that financial assistance is available to cover your travel expenses and essential costs associated with the exchange. Say goodbye to worries, anxieties and fears and say hello to an enriching experience with youth exchanges – your accommodation, 3 meals a day and activities are free of charge! Just don’t forget to commit and be invested in the topic, most likely you will return enriched by the experience.
I participated in the “Self-Esteem” project in Spain. This training program, tailored for youth sector workers, focuses on self-discovery and expression through art and creativity. It emphasizes developing inner strengths, resilience, emotional competencies, flexibility, and adaptability to change. In our informal education setting, we prioritized cultivating skills, competencies, and attitudes using humor, art, creative methods, psychological insights, empathy, and symbolic activities. The aim was to foster social and personal development, shaping positive mindsets and lifestyles. The town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, approximately 50 km from Madrid, hosted our project. The Monastery of El Escorial, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offered a breathtaking backdrop. This ERASMUS+ experience enriched my knowledge, skills, and responsibilities. I’m grateful for the insights, connections, and memories created with individuals from across Europe. While goodbyes were tough, I hope our paths cross again – Ieva, Spain.
At the youth exchange in Tryavna, Bulgaria, I learned valuable information about employment, leadership; I was inspired to aim for more! We wrote our CVs, motivational letters, and worked on our projects. Of course, it wasn’t just about that, but also the connection I felt with other people, especially the Lithuanian team! This connection was special to me. Other project participants also left a good impression – all very cheerful and kind people; whenever we found a rare free minute, we spent it by the pool, laughing and having fun. After the project, the 5 of us Lithuanians spent another day at the Bulgarian seaside, in the city of Burgas; we felt like old familiar and close friends on vacation. I’m also excited about the experience gained from traveling; it will certainly help in the future. I think we mastered all routes: by plane, by bus, even by train (though it was a bit scary). Erasmus+ is a force!! Vilte, Bulgaria
