🎓 Erasmus+ Opportunities
🇫🇷 France — U in Verse: Mindfulness, Embodiment and Nature Connection at Oasis des Âges Ecovillage 🌿
📅 Deadline: 17 July 2026
An experiential training journey for youth workers, educators, facilitators and social workers exploring mindfulness, embodiment, nature connection, creativity and play as tools for personal growth and youth work practice. Discover practical approaches to cultivating presence, awareness, resilience and authenticity through movement, mindfulness practices, creative expression, outdoor activities and reflection. In a world characterised by speed, stress and overstimulation, reconnect with yourself, others and your environment while developing competences transferable to your daily life and professional practice — a genuine antidote to a world running too fast.
🇸🇰 Slovakia — Nature-Based Learning and Mindfulness for Wellbeing 🧘
📅 Deadline: 17 July 2026
A training course for youth workers nurturing mental wellbeing through the healing power of nature: combine nature-based learning, mindfulness, body awareness and self-care, explore methods like Forestminds, somatic techniques and permaculture, and walk away with a ready-to-use Forest Wellness toolkit to run your own stress-relief workshops back home — you leave with a toolkit, not just notes.
🇮🇹 Italy — Mental Health Through Gamification (Sicily) 🎮
📅 Deadline: 17 July 2026
A 7-day residential training in Sicily equipping youth workers with gamification, digital tools and mental health literacy to design safe, inclusive activities for young people.

Leave ready to lead local co-creation workshops with young people. Open to applicants from 🇮🇹 🇱🇻 🇷🇸 — make the hardest conversations easier by turning them into play.

📅 Deadline: 17 July 2026
A practical training designed for youth workers, mentors, coaches and active volunteers wanting to strengthen their professional competencies in managing international initiatives, fostering well-being and implementing high-quality non-formal learning environments. Deconstruct ESC and Erasmus+ project architecture, master empathetic communication through NVC, navigate crises and stress with conflict mediation algorithms, join a study visit to a local NGO with a creative street-outreach campaign, co-design reflection tools and own the Youthpass certification process through hands-on simulation — the most practically loaded course in this batch.

🇱🇧 Lebanon (Online) — Digital Tools for Autism Inclusion in Youth Work 🧩
📅 Deadline: 17 July 2026
A free online webinar for youth workers, NGOs, educators and inclusion actors on supporting autistic and neurodivergent young people: understand the "care circle" around the child, improve coordination between families and professionals, and explore the safe, ethical use of digital tools and AI to support observation, caregiver guidance and continuity of care — free, online, and genuinely needed knowledge.
🇫🇷 France — Le Pouvoir de l'Éducation Non Formelle: Youth as Actors of Social Change 📚
📅 Deadline: 17 July 2026
Amplify the impact of Non Formal Education, its principles and methods, while affirming the role of young people as full actors of society from local to European level. Experience the power of NFE by living different methods (simulation games, role play, exercises), reflect on their impact, transfer learnings to your local reality and develop your pedagogical capacities through dynamic, highly interactive sessions including "Power to the People" co-construction blocks. ⚠️ Training delivered entirely in French — for Francophone youth workers ready to go deeper.
Seven Erasmus+ opportunities, one shared deadline: 17 July. Mindfulness and embodiment at a French ecovillage, a Forest Wellness toolkit built on Forestminds and permaculture in Slovakia, two Sicilian trainings turning game mechanics and escape games into stigma-free mental-health conversations, Non-Violent Communication and crisis mediation in Georgia, a free Lebanese webinar on AI and digital tools for autism inclusion, and the power of non-formal education in French — these are not calls you'll see grouped together again.
The thread here is unmistakable: four of the seven centre on mental health, mindfulness and wellbeing — a welcome emphasis for a field where burnout is common and young people's mental health is under real strain. Italy offers the two gamification trainings in Sicily, France two very different courses (an ecovillage retreat and a French-language NFE deep dive), and the Lebanese webinar costs nothing and needs no travel — the easiest first step anyone can take here. Every deadline is 17 July 2026. Choose yours.
