Youth Works Hub presents 16 fully funded Erasmus+ opportunities for 2026, all closing between 10 and 21 October, in Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Finland, France, Georgia, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Ukraine. The batch combines eleven Erasmus+ training courses, two partnership-building activities and three online events, mostly for youth workers, trainers, youth leaders and project managers, with one crafts course open to young people aged 18 to 26. Five calls close on 15 October 2026, the busiest date in the batch. Our guide to what an Erasmus+ Training Course is explains how the format works, and the guide to Erasmus+ mobility of youth workers covers the wider strand for people who work with young people.
Each call has its own angle:
🇫🇷 France: a nine-day course in Cahors uses debates, role-plays and simulations to explore the EU, its institutions and democratic participation.
🇨🇿 Czechia: a week in a forest setting in Nejdek turns attention inward through nature-based, embodied and creative practices.
🇪🇸 Spain: an eight-day course in Guriezo teaches nonviolent communication, emotional literacy and peace education.
🇬🇪 Georgia: a ten-day course in Bakuriani shows how digital gamification can make non-formal education more engaging.
🇭🇺 Hungary: experienced Hungarian crafts trainers teach traditional weaving with reed and corn husks over five days.
🇺🇦 Ukraine: a one-day online conference brings psychological first aid and art-based practices into youth mental health support.
🇸🇮 Slovenia: WATER, an eight-day course in Kamnik, teaches trauma-informed and arts-based methods to youth workers from Morocco.
🇷🇴 Romania: a seven-day outdoor course in Izvoare looks at how using AI affects your own attention and decision-making.
Taken together, the batch suits youth workers who want new methods, from conflict transformation and trauma-informed work to digital tools and project building. Several calls are open to only one to five countries, so check the eligibility line in each listing first. Before you apply, our guide to what costs Erasmus+ covers breaks down the funding rules for youth activities.
Erasmus+ projects cover travel and stay, which is why every opportunity in this batch is listed as fully funded. According to Youth Works Hub's review, only one of the 16 listings mentions a participation fee: the advocacy and lobbying course in Moldova, where fees vary by country and are set by National Agencies. The batch opens with the EU citizenship course in France on 10 October and closes with the youth exchange course in Spain on 21 October 2026.
