Youth Exchanges bring together young people from different countries to learn, share ideas, and develop new skills in an international environment. Participants explore topics such as culture, inclusion, sustainability, entrepreneurship, or active citizenship through non-formal education methods.
These projects help young people improve their communication skills, build self-confidence, and create lasting international friendships while experiencing life in another country.
European Solidarity Corps

The European Solidarity Corps offers young people the opportunity to volunteer in projects that create a positive impact on communities across Europe. Participants can contribute to social inclusion, environmental protection, education, culture, and many other fields.
Besides helping others, volunteers develop new skills, gain international experience, improve language abilities, and grow both personally and professionally.
Training Courses
International learning opportunities for youth workers, educators, and volunteers to develop skills and exchange good practices.
Learn More
Training Courses are designed for youth workers, educators, facilitators, and people active in the youth sector who want to improve their professional competences and expand their international network.
Participants explore innovative methods, share experiences with colleagues from across Europe, and gain practical tools that can be applied directly in their daily work with young people.
Youthpass

Youthpass is the official recognition tool of the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes. It helps participants reflect on their learning journey and identify the competences they have developed during their international experience.
The certificate highlights skills such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving, intercultural awareness, initiative, and leadership, making learning outcomes visible and valuable for future education, employment, and personal development.
F.A.Q. about Erasmus+
Who can participate in Erasmus+ youth projects?
Most Erasmus+ youth activities are open to young people between 13 and 30 years old, depending on the specific project. Some activities, such as Training Courses, are aimed at youth workers, educators, facilitators, and volunteers working with young people.
Do I need to speak English to participate?
Yes. English is the working language of most Erasmus+ projects and European Solidarity Corps activities. You do not need to be a native speaker or have perfect English, but you should be able to communicate, understand others, and express your ideas during activities and everyday interactions.
A language certificate is usually not required. What matters is that you feel comfortable participating in an international environment and are willing to use English throughout the experience. Many participants see these projects as a great opportunity to improve their language skills while meeting people from different countries.
How much does it cost to participate?
Most Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps projects cover accommodation, food, activity costs, and a large part (or even all) of the travel expenses. The exact conditions depend on each project and are always explained before applying, but usually it’s all-included!
What can I gain from participating?
Participants develop valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership, problem-solving, intercultural awareness, and adaptability. They also meet people from different countries, discover new cultures, and gain experiences that can support their personal and professional growth. Also, it’s a life changing experience for many people.
