Fully funded Erasmus+ training courses for youth workers are open right now: 5 of them, across 5 countries, each covering your travel and your stay. If you work with young people, whether as a youth worker, trainer, educator, volunteer coordinator or project leader, these are the weeks that quietly change how you do the job. This round spans a full Training of Trainers in Belgium that turns you into a Youth-ID Multiplier over a 12-month journey, an activism-and-active-citizenship course on the streets of Ljubljana, participatory arts in rural Italy, a digital-tools bootcamp in Slovakia packed with Kahoot, Canva, Miro and the basics of AI and prompt engineering, and a two-phase community-cohesion training in Austria. Some are a single intensive week; others pair an in-person course with months of follow-up back home. What they share is the format: small international groups, non-formal education, hands-on practice, and a network of peers from across Europe that outlasts the course itself.
Who are these for? Anyone who already works with young people or is stepping into the field and wants concrete, transferable skills rather than theory. If you facilitate workshops, you will leave with new methods. If you run projects, you will leave with tools and partners. If you are drawn to the arts, there is a course built entirely around music, theatre and creative movement as tools for inclusion, and it asks for no previous artistic experience at all. A quick but important note on eligibility: two of these courses are open to applicants from across the eligible countries, while the other three are restricted to residents of specific countries, so read the eligibility line on each one before you apply, because it decides whether you can take part.
On funding, Erasmus+ training courses are fully funded in the way that matters to your wallet: your accommodation and food during the course are covered, and your travel is reimbursed up to a distance-based grant. You are not paying to attend. To join, you generally need to be over 18 and connected to a sending organisation in your country, which the course organisers can help you understand. You can browse more fully funded Erasmus+ training courses, youth exchanges and volunteering across the site at youthworkshub.org. Deadlines here are tight and clustered: the Belgian Training of Trainers is open on a rolling basis, but the rest close between 27 and 31 August, so this is very much a this-week decision. Read on, find the course that fits the way you work, and get your application in.

Five fully funded Erasmus+ training courses, five countries, and one audience: the people who spend their days building something with and for young people. If you made it here, you already know which one is yours, whether it is the year-long Training of Trainers in Belgium that leaves you certified to multiply everything you learn, the street-level activism training in Ljubljana, the arts-based inclusion course in the Italian hills, the digital-tools bootcamp in Slovakia that hands you a toolkit of Kahoot, Canva, Miro and AI basics, or the community-cohesion programme in Austria. Each one strengthens a different muscle, mentoring, campaigning, facilitation, digital fluency, inclusion, so the right pick depends less on the destination and more on the gap you most want to close in your own practice.
The catch, as always, is timing and eligibility. The Belgian Training of Trainers takes applications on a rolling basis, so it is worth moving on first, while the other four close between 27 and 31 August, and the two courses with open eligibility will fill fastest. Before you apply, confirm two things: that you meet the residence requirement listed on your chosen course, and that you have or can find a sending organisation in your country. If you want to keep discovering funded training courses, youth exchanges and volunteering like these, the simplest way is to let them come to you: join our broadcast channel through the link in our bio, where we post every new batch first, then open the course that fits you, check the deadline and eligibility, and send your application today.
