Youth Works Hub has rounded up 10 fully funded Erasmus+ training courses and e-learning opportunities for youth workers in 2026, and this is the last chance to apply: every call has its deadline between 2 and 8 November 2026. The calls are spread across seven countries: France, Spain, Portugal, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland and Hungary, with eight training courses, one online e-learning webinar and one partnership-building activity. Our guide to what an Erasmus+ training course is explains the format.
The profiles and the country lists differ from call to call. The Amarante course in Portugal is open only to applicants from Spain, the Barcelona course lists five countries and the two Lithuania courses six each, while the Tuusula and Szeged calls list 34 countries each and the Paris course 55. Our overview of eligible countries for Erasmus+ and ESC explains the general country rules.
The topics range from mentoring and civic engagement to facilitation, neuroeducation, digital competences, hope building, resilience and mental health, and inclusive programme design. Our guide to Erasmus+ mobility of youth workers explains what these learning activities are.
Each call has its own angle:
๐ต๐น Portugal: an online webinar looks at how arts and creativity can help youth work challenge discrimination and build more inclusive spaces.
๐ซ๐ท France: a Paris training of trainers and multipliers works with the Mentoring Competence Framework to improve mentoring in the European Solidarity Corps.
๐ช๐ธ Spain: a certified course in Coma-Ruga, Catalonia, builds trainers' civic engagement competences, with a visit to Barcelona.
๐ช๐ช Estonia: a nine-day course at Kรผla Villa teaches youth workers to design, facilitate and evaluate non-formal learning activities.
๐ฑ๐น Lithuania: a course in Markutiลกkฤs uses neuroeducation and non-formal techniques to make youth work activities more engaging and impactful.
๐ซ๐ฎ Finland: Tuusula hosts a course on hope-building approaches that strengthen young people's positive outlook on the future.
๐ต๐น Portugal: Amarante hosts a five-day course on resilience, mental health and a practical toolkit for work with young people.
๐ญ๐บ Hungary: Szeged hosts a partnership-building activity where participants design inclusive learning programmes and develop Erasmus+ project concepts.
In the nine in-person calls the organisers cover accommodation and food, and travel is reimbursed in eight of them, while the Paris course tells you to ask your National Agency or SALTO whether it supports travel costs. According to Youth Works Hub's review, three calls state a participation fee: 50โฌ in Coma-Ruga, 30โฌ in Amarante for new members and a fee that varies from country to country in Paris.

๐ก Note from youthworker_eu: a participation fee like this is usually a contribution 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.
