Youth Works Hub lists 8 fully funded Erasmus+ opportunities for late 2026 and early 2027 in Estonia, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Spain and Tรผrkiye. Seven are Erasmus+ training courses and one is a free online course on the European Solidarity Corps, so the batch speaks mainly to youth workers, trainers, youth leaders and educators. AIvolution in Poland is open as soon as possible, and the other calls close between 15 October and 7 November 2026. Our guide to what an Erasmus+ Training Course isexplains the format, and the guide to mobility of youth workers explains the Erasmus+ action that the Lithuania course belongs to.
Each call has its own angle:
๐ต๐ฑ Poland: AIvolution in Murzasichle teaches youth workers to use AI and digital tools in youth work and NGO management.
๐ช๐ช Estonia: The Clown In You in Vihi uses clowning, bouffon and improv to explore personal boundaries.
๐ญ๐บ Hungary: NextGen Facilitators in Zamรกrdi helps aspiring youth workers design and deliver their own workshops.
๐ต๐ฑ Poland: the 2nd Winter Youth Work Academy in Rabka-Zdrรณj focuses on the quality and practice of youth work.
๐ช๐ธ Spain: a course in Barcelona builds emotional intelligence and resilience through social and emotional learning.
๐ฎ๐ช Ireland: a free online course presents the full range of European Solidarity Corps opportunities.
๐น๐ท Tรผrkiye: Board and Byte Games in Tosya has youth workers create board games and no-code, AI-supported digital games.
๐ฑ๐น Lithuania: Unlocking Learning near Vilnius brings neuroeducation into youth work.
Taken together, the batch suits youth workers who want practical tools for their daily work, from facilitation and game design to emotional intelligence and neuroeducation. Several calls are open to only five or six countries, so check the eligibility line in each listing first. Our guide to what costs Erasmus+ covers explains 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, five calls state that there is no participation fee or that participation is free, the courses in Hungary and Lithuania describe their costs as co-funded or covered, and the clowning course in Estonia asks selected participants to confirm a 30 EUR advised contribution. The earliest dated deadline is 15 October 2026 for the course in Estonia, and the course in Lithuania closes last, on 7 November 2026.

Youth workers, non-formal educators, trainers, camp leaders, teachers, VET and higher education teaching staff and student union representatives aged 18 or older can apply, and no clowning or theatre experience is required.

๐ก Note from youthworker_eu: a contribution like this is usually something the organisation asks for its own institutional capacity, not a cost of the programme. It is never paid at application, only by selected participants, and in many cases it can be negotiated or even waived by the organisation. If an organisation asks you to pay at the application stage, report it to the National Agency or the European Commission and let us know, so we can report it too.

Our guide on how to spot a real Erasmus+ or ESC project explains why a fee is never paid at application.
