If you work with young people and want to sharpen your skills, this batch is built for you. There are 12 Erasmus+ opportunities open now, split between five fully funded residential courses in Latvia, France, Lithuania, Slovenia and Belgium and seven free online seminars you can join from anywhere. The topics run from AI, robotics and educational game design to European citizenship, somatics and nature connection, social innovation, and responding to bullying with the No Blame Method. The first deadline is 10 August, so start at the top.
For the five residential courses, Erasmus+ covers your travel and your stay, and you leave with a Youthpass certificate. You usually just need to be a resident of an eligible programme or partner country, and each listing shows exactly who can apply. The seven online seminars and workshops are free with nothing to travel to, so you can sign up wherever you are. Deadlines run from 10 August to 1 September 2026.
