Six Erasmus+ opportunities are open right now across 4 countries, and unlike most of what we list, five of them are youth exchanges built for young people rather than for professionals. You could spend eight days in a forest venue in Val Curone exploring cultural diversity through the world of mushrooms, act and photograph your way through human rights in a village north of Madrid, learn how to actually get hired in Romania, build career confidence and responsible AI skills in Luxembourg, or turn ancient Sicilian myths into working tools for inclusion. Every one of them is open on a rolling basis, so the places go as they fill.
The funding varies by project and we list only what each one states. The Andalusian exchange covers accommodation and three meals a day with travel reimbursed up to €309, the Romanian one covers accommodation, food and travel through the project grant, and the Madrid one covers accommodation, food and activities with travel reimbursed. Two of the Spanish exchanges are open to residents of Italy only, and those are flagged below. Every deadline is "as soon as possible", which means these close the moment the groups are full.
What's in this batch:
5 Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges · 1 Partnership Building Activity · 4 Countries · All Deadlines: As Soon As Possible

🇪🇸 Spain: Human Rights Through Theatre, Art and Creative Expression 🎭
📅 Deadline: As soon as possible

Each day explores a different right through theatre, storytelling, music, visual arts and video, building up to a collective Live Dramaturgy Game, with accommodation, food and activities covered and travel reimbursed. ⚠️ Open to residents of Italy. Rights you perform, not just read about.

🇮🇹 Italy: Myths, Storytelling and Cultural Heritage for Youth Workers 📖
📅 Deadline: As soon as possible
Youth workers meet in Sicily to turn ancient myths, storytelling and cultural heritage into working tools for inclusion and cooperation. Nine days of creative methods, digital storytelling and new partnerships for future Erasmus+ projects. Open to applicants from 🇮🇹 🇬🇷 🇬🇪 🇪🇬 🇹🇳 🇫🇮. Sicily, myths, and partners for your next project.
Six opportunities, four countries, and a rare balance for this feed: five of them are youth exchanges you can join as a young person, not as a professional. The themes split neatly. Two Spanish exchanges take human rights and make them physical, one through theatre, art and a Live Dramaturgy Game near Madrid, the other through simulations and debate in Andalusia. Two more are unapologetically practical, teaching CV writing, interviews and job search strategy in Romania and career confidence with responsible AI use in Luxembourg. And two come from Italy, one turning a forest full of mushrooms into a lesson on cultural diversity, the other bringing youth workers to Sicily to build partnerships out of ancient myths. Accommodation and food are covered on most, with travel reimbursed where stated, and two Spanish exchanges are open to residents of Italy only. Every single deadline is "as soon as possible", so these fill fast. Pick yours and apply today.
