From learning wilderness first aid, bushcraft and fire-making with a helicopter rescue doctor and an experimental archaeology specialist in a Spanish native forest and nature immersion under tents by a river in Serbia, to an eight-day Training of Trainers in AI literacy in Türkiye, futures-thinking youth work in Finland, digital peacebuilding and the Peace INfluencers Toolkit in Poland, and media literacy for intercultural youth work in Germany — this batch of 8 Erasmus+ opportunities spans 7 countries, and nearly all sit at the intersection of two big themes: getting young people outdoors, and getting them ready for a digital, AI-shaped future.
Erasmus+ training courses cover travel and stay; the two online webinars are completely free. The earliest deadline is 13 July, and the rest close by 31 July 2026, so most reward moving reasonably soon.

6 Training Courses · 2 Online Webinars · 7 Countries

🇵🇱 Poland — Outdoor Education for Youth Resilience (Training Course) 🌲
📅 Deadline: 31 July 2026

Rather than treating outdoor activities as occasional, learn to make them a regular, structured practice that supports young people's wellbeing, cooperation and personal development. Plan and facilitate outdoor activities with risk awareness and safety procedures, build practical expedition skills like navigation and first aid, make outdoor education more accessible, and promote eco-responsible practice. Open to applicants from 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 🇬🇷 🇹🇷 and 4 more — make the outdoors a regular part of your practice, not a one-off trip.
Eight Erasmus+ opportunities across 7 countries — and this is one of the sharpest youth-worker training drops of the season, split neatly between two futures. On one side, getting young people outdoors: wilderness first aid and fire-making with a rescue doctor in a Spanish forest, nature immersion under tents in Serbia, and outdoor education for resilience in Poland. On the other, getting them ready for a digital world: AI trainer training in Türkiye, media literacy in Germany and digital peacebuilding in Poland, with Finland's futures-thinking course bridging the two. Türkiye's AI Training of Trainers, Poland's digital-peacebuilding webinar and Finland's futures course all close on the same busy day, 27 July, while the free Media Literacy webinar from Germany moves first on 13 July and the Polish outdoor-education course closes the batch on 31 July. Choose yours.
