Curious or uncertain? Explore the questions posed by past participants in youth exchange projects.

How long does the "short-term" project last?

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.

Do I need to pay for accommodation, traveling or food?

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.

What kind of activities can I expect during 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.
