Mosaic through Differences is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange in Dob, Domลพale, Slovenia, from 13 to 19 November 2026, hosted by Center za mlade Domลพale (Youth Centre Domลพale). This call is for young people from Greece aged 18-30, plus one group leader who can be older. There is no fixed deadline, so apply as soon as possible. At Youth Works Hub, we read the call and the full infopack, and this guide brings every detail together.
What Is Mosaic through Differences?
The project runs under the motto "Divided as individuals, connected as people". It connects young people from four different countries to explore and enact the theme of inclusion, inclusive thinking, and how empathy, openness and diversity can strengthen the communities we live in. If this is your first exchange, our guide explains what an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange is and how a typical one works.
The application form on this call is for participants from Greece.
The Questions Behind the Exchange
Throughout the week, participants search for answers to three questions:
๐ What inclusion really is
๐ง How it affects the individual and society
๐ฑ How we can internalise it and use it to create a more connected world
The topics of the exchange are Inclusion & Diversity and Culture & Heritage.
What Happens During the Week
Through co-created interactive activities, intercultural experiences, teamwork and discussions, participants will:
๐ช Challenge their perspectives
๐ซ Fight stereotypes
๐คฒ Learn from one another
๐ก Develop a deeper understanding of inclusion and belonging
The goal is a space where every voice matters, differences become opportunities for connection, and young people are empowered to build a more open, respectful and connected society.
Meet the Organisers: Youth Centre Domลพale
The exchange is organised by Youth Centre Domลพale (Center za mlade Domลพale, CZM), a public institute established and funded by the municipality of Domลพale. A very important part of the exchange is the centre's group of youth, who actively take part in creating the youth exchange.
The youth centre's primary objectives are:
๐งโ๐คโ๐ง Providing support for youth
โณ Offering opportunities to wisely use their free time
๐๏ธ Encouraging active involvement in society at local, national and international levels
To reach these goals, the centre runs various activities on its own or together with other Slovenian and international organisations. The project coordinator is Tamara Selko.
Meet the Slovenian Team
The infopack introduces seven young people from the Slovenian team, aged 18 to 23. Among them are students of civil engineering, UX/UI design, and Slovene language with pedagogy and andragogy, along with a future psychologist, a volunteer firefighter, a language lover and a keen traveller. They describe themselves through hobbies such as improvisation, sports, drawing and crocheting, yoga and tennis, baking, hiking, singing and going to festivals.
Partner Organisations and Groups
The exchange brings together 4 organisations from 4 different countries, including Slovenia:
๐ธ๐ฎ Center za mlade Domลพale, CZM (Slovenia)

Your Tasks Before and During the Exchange
Because the organisers strongly support active youth participation, every partner group has tasks to prepare:
๐ ๏ธ Workshops: each group prepares a workshop or two about the topic of the youth exchange. You will receive instructions, so wait for them
โก Energizers: each group prepares a few energizing, teambuilding and icebreaking activities, useful when the energy of the whole group is a bit on the lower side
๐ธ Group leader's photo file: the group leader collects photos and descriptions (not too long, not too short) of the team mates in one Word document and sends it to the project coordinator at least one week before arrival
๐ค Intercultural evenings: a short presentation of your country, for example a quiz, a PowerPoint presentation, music or dance
๐ฒ Group dinner: each group prepares dinner on one evening. The dish should be simple and possible to prepare in one hour max, and the recipe with ingredients goes to the project coordinator at least one week before arrival
๐ Travel options: each participant contacts the project coordinator about their travelling options, and buys tickets only once they are confirmed. Everything is collected in one Word document and sent to the coordinator
๐ Participant questionnaire: fill out the "Mosaic through differences - participant questionary" as soon as you receive the infopack or are selected as a participant

๐ 3000-3999 km: 580 โฌ / green travel 785 โฌ
๐ Green travel means travel that uses sustainable means of transport for at least 50% of the distance, such as bus, train or car-pooling. Our guide on how Erasmus+ travel reimbursement works explains the bands in more detail.
