The ultimate Erasmus+ master guide: How to navigate the world of European projects
“I want to apply for an Erasmus+ project, but I don’t know where to start!”
“There are so many opportunities that I feel overwhelmed!”
“How do I figure out if a project is right for me?”
These are just a few of the questions we frequently hear. The Erasmus+ world is full of incredible opportunities, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming. With so many European projects available, it’s easy to get lost. So, how do you navigate this world of Erasmus+? We’ve prepared the ultimate Erasmus+ master guide for you.
In this guide, we’ll share practical tips and insights to help you find quality projects, spot the green flags (and avoid the red ones), and put together a strong application to improve your chances of getting selected. Whether it’s your first time exploring Erasmus+ opportunities or you’ve participated before, we suspect that there’s something here for you. Drawing from years of experience as youth workers involved in training and exchanges, we’ve got your back.
Let’s start from the beginning. What is actually Erasmus+?
Simply put, Erasmus+ is a program by the European Union that supports learning, training, and cultural exchange opportunities for people of all ages. It’s basically a big international platform where you can study, work, volunteer, or participate in projects abroad, all while gaining new skills and experiences.
For example:
- Students can go on exchange programs to study at universities in other countries. This is the part of Erasmus+ that somehow most people are aware of, but it’s definitely not the only one. (In this article, we will not put as much focus on this one, since there is quite a lot of comprehensive information about it already.)
- Young people can join youth exchanges (lasting between 5 and 21 days, most commonly between 7 and 10 days) or volunteer through initiatives like the European Solidarity Corps.
- Youth workers, teachers, and professionals can attend training courses (between 2 to 60 days, most commonly lasting about a week).
The Erasmus+ program covers most of the costs, including travel, accommodation, and meals, making it more accessible to everyone. Sometimes, an organisation may decide to ask for a contribution (participation) fee to cover extra costs, but the aim is still to make it inclusive for everybody to join. Erasmus+ is a way to explore new cultures, make friends from different countries, and learn skills that can help in your personal and professional life. It’s Europe’s most beloved programme and has already given the opportunity to 14 million people to study, train, work and volunteer abroad.
Erasmus+ in the youth sector in non-formal education: how it functions
Erasmus+ in the youth sector works as a collaboration between different organizations to provide learning opportunities for young people and youth workers. At the heart of these projects are the sending organization, the hosting organization, and the participants. The sending organization helps prepare participants in their home country, handling things like applications, pre-departure information, and travel arrangements. The hosting organization, based in another country, organizes and runs the actual activities.
The projects, themselves called “mobilities” can include youth exchanges, where young people from different countries come together to work on a specific theme, or training courses for youth workers to learn new skills.
Funding for these projects comes from Erasmus+, covering travel, accommodation, food, and activity costs. Organizations apply for funding through their country’s National Agency, which oversees the quality and management of Erasmus+ projects. This system makes sure that young people and youth workers can focus on learning, cultural exchange, and personal growth without worrying about financial barriers. When applying for a project, the hosting organisation chooses its partners, also known as sending organisations. These are the organisations responsible for selecting participants in each respective country. Once the project is approved, the hosting organisation and all the partners begin preparing for the mobility.
Types of Erasmus+ opportunities
Youth exchanges (Mobility of young people)
Youth Exchanges bring young people (aged 13-30) from different countries together to learn, share experiences, and collaborate on various themes. These exchanges can last between 5 to 21 days (excluding travel days) and include workshops, discussions, role-playing, outdoor activities, and cultural evenings. The purpose of youth exchanges is to promote intercultural dialogue, teamwork, and active participation. Simply put, it’s a place for young people from different countries to meet, exchange ideas and cultures, and learn together.
Youth exchanges are many and have quite a variety of topics, including creativity, entrepreneurship, outdoor experience, sustainability, cooking and so on.
To join a youth exchange, no special qualifications are required, the focus is on motivation and interest in the topic. Some organisations may only be looking for participants aged 18 and above, but some are open to people as young as 13.
Training courses (Mobility of youth workers)
Training courses are opportunities for youth workers, educators, mentors, coaches, trainers and facilitators to improve their skills and knowledge in working with young people. These are professional development programs lasting between 2 and 50 days, but most commonly they’re around a week long. They’re open to those working young people, and the age requirement is 18+.
The purpose of trainings courses is to equip youth workers with tools, methods, and knowledge to improve their work and support young people. The activities included are typically in the form of workshops, presentations, simulations, and networking opportunities.
They’re open to youth workers (volunteers or professionals) actively working with young people, so one of the most important aspects is being able to bring what you’ve learned during the training to your context back home.
Seminars
Seminars are gatherings of youth workers, organizations, and experts to discuss specific topics, share good practices and tools, and collaborate on innovative ideas. These events are typically shorter (a few days) and focus on dialogue and exchange. They encourage networking and collaboration among youth organizations across Europe.
Youth participation activities
This is a newer type of Erasmus+ project and it’s mostly focused on the local impact. These projects aim to empower young people to participate actively in democratic life and decision-making processes. The activities can include debates, awareness campaigns, or initiatives addressing social issues. The goal is to organise a local initiative with the goal of improving your community, and they’re open to groups of young people (aged 13-30) or youth organizations. You can even create your own project!
European Solidarity Corps
The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is a volunteering programme. It’s about making a difference while developing yourself. It offers young people aged 18-30 the chance to participate in solidarity-focused projects that address social challenges, promote inclusion, and benefit local communities. These projects can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 12 months and take place locally or abroad. Activities range from supporting environmental conservation efforts to assisting in education, cultural integration, or humanitarian aid. ESC provides an opportunity to give back but also supports participants with funding for travel, accommodation, meals, and even pocket money. It’s an excellent way for young people to gain real-world experience, improve their skills, and build connections while contributing to a cause they care about.
There are two types of European Solidarity Corps volunteering:
Individual Volunteering:
Participants join a project in another country, where they dedicate their time to activities such as environmental protection, working with disadvantaged groups, or supporting cultural initiatives.
Team Volunteering:
A shorter-term activity (2 weeks to 2 months) where young people from different countries come together to work on a specific project. These projects often involve larger groups and are focused on topics like disaster recovery, community development, or cultural events.
Erasmus for young entrepreneurs
Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs focuses on building entrepreneurial skills and cross-border collaboration. This program connects new entrepreneurs with experienced business owners across Europe, offering a learning experience in running and managing a business. Participants work side-by-side with their host entrepreneurs for 1 to 6 months, exchanging knowledge, gaining practical skills, and understanding different business environments. New entrepreneurs receive financial support for their travel and living expenses, which can make it accessible for those with limited resources. It’s a two-way learning opportunity: aspiring entrepreneurs develop confidence and expertise, while host entrepreneurs gain fresh perspectives and innovative ideas for their own businesses.
If you want to apply for the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme, you’ll need to come up with a business plan, apply through the portal, and then once you’ve completed the project, write a report on what you’ve learned and how you’ve implemented it. We recommend it as a great learning opportunity for those willing to start their own initiatives, either businesses or NGOs and would like to learn from experienced professionals abroad.
How to find opportunities
At the moment, there is no unified platform for organisations to post their projects. There are, however, several hubs where projects are regularly announced:
- European Youth Portal: This is the only resource hub provided directly by the European Union. The EU Youth Portal provides information on European initiatives for young people, including Erasmus+ opportunities, European Solidarity Corps projects, and Erasmus for young entrepreneurs, so in case you’re interested in the volunteering aspect of Erasmus, this is the place to look.
- SALTO Youth for training courses
SALTO-YOUTH is a network of seven Resource Centres that support the European Commission’s Erasmus+ program in the youth sector. They provide non-formal learning resources, training, and activities to enhance the quality of youth work and to facilitate access to Erasmus+ opportunities. You can look at the SALTO Training calendar and find training courses that you’re interested in. We do not recommend you to apply through SALTO, however, as it often has a separate application form. We encourage you to find a training that you like and then visit the social media page or website of the hosting organisation and apply directly through them. The reason for this is that hosting organisations sometimes create a separate application form for those applying through SALTO, and it often ends up being overlooked.
- Facebook groups
One of the most popular ways to find projects is to look for active listings on Facebook groups. There are groups for participants from all around Europe, and there are also some Facebook groups that are specific to the country you’re applying from. Some of the Facebook groups we know are:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/erasmusplusprojects
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2685092871802920
https://www.facebook.com/groups/erasmusprojects
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2053384771639249

https://www.facebook.com/groups/444968376076906
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mejdi.org
- Apply&Go
Apply&Go is an app which was developed during an Erasmus+ project itself. It allows people to look for opportunities on specific dates when they are available, and then select youth exchanges or trainings based on certain topics.
- Erasmus Plus Projects Instagram Page
https://www.instagram.com/erasmus_plus_projects/ is an instagram page created by Tony Morabito, a trainer and facilitator, and he regularly posts new project opportunities on it.
- Social Media
Projects are usually posted on the social media accounts of both the hosting organisations and the sending organisations. If you’re unsure where to look, we have a couple of recommendations for organisations hosting high quality projects!
How do I know if the project is high quality?
When deciding to join an Erasmus+ project, it’s essential to look for indicators of quality. A high-quality project will provide a meaningful experience, while a poorly managed one may lead to frustration.
It’s important to note that if a project has been trusted by the National Agency and has been funded, it likely has the potential of being a high-quality project. In this article, we consider a “quality” project one that fulfills the following criteria:
- Quality design of the educational programme – projects that deliver meaningful content, which participants can find useful in their daily life. They are constructed in a way that is optimal for learning, taking into consideration different learning styles and methods.
- Clear communication and logistical preparation – taking care that participants are informed ahead of time, understand their responsibilities and available options, and that the project upholds the Erasmus+ Quality Standards
- Follow-up opportunities for growth and continuous learning – We certainly don’t want Erasmus+ to be a bubble that pops at the end of the mobility. High-quality projects are the ones that allow participants to continue engaging with the content and learning more afterwards, as well as those that provide support and future opportunities.
Green flags of quality projects / Red flags to watch out for
Green flag: Clear and detailed information
The project description (infopack/infoletter) is comprehensive, explaining the objectives, activities, location, dates, and logistical details. When reading it, you understand what is expected of you as a participant. The project has a clear purpose and aligns with Erasmus+ priorities, such as promoting inclusion and or intercultural learning. Specific skills, knowledge, or personal growth areas are mentioned as outcomes. The working methods are also mentioned.
Red flag: Unresponsive or poor communication
The hosting organisation is slow to reply to questions or provides inconsistent information. There’s a lack of professionalism in their communication. The project description is unclear, lacks detail, or seems rushed, maybe even written by artificial intelligence. Key details, such as location, number of participants, participating countries, sending organisations, or learning methods, are missing or ambiguous.
Green flag: Structured preparation and support
Participants receive care, a personal approach and warm contact pre-departure. The organization is responsive and communicates effectively. Details about covered expenses (e.g., travel, accommodation, meals) and reimbursement procedures are clear and reasonable. It is generally a really good sign if you receive a call or an email from the hosting organisation with the idea of the organisers getting to know you.
Red flag: No preparation, poor logistics
The organization does not provide any form of guidance, or pre-project support. You feel unprepared before traveling.
Green flag: Inclusion as a priority
The project considers participants with fewer opportunities or special needs. Efforts are made to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Generally, you are able to gauge the tone of the project by reading the project infopack. If it is communicated in a way that is warm, inspiring, funny, uplifting, or serious, straight to the point and direct, it is very likely that the project will also go in any of those directions.

Applying for a project: tips for a successful application
With the rise of ChatGPT, many people are applying to all sorts of programmes, and it might sometimes be hard to stand out in the sea of applications. As project coordinators who have read hundreds of Erasmus+ applications, we will do our best to give you insight as to what a project organiser is looking for when going through an application.
- Short and concise answers
Here’s something that every project coordinator wants to tell you: we’re tired of reading ChatGPT answers. We want to connect to your story, see the real “you” behind the text, and find out what makes you shine. We would much rather prefer to read short, straight to the point answers, than long paragraphs of AI-generated text. We don’t care about grammar as much as we care about the human behind the screen, so don’t worry – your English doesn’t need to be at an advanced level for you to apply, as long as you have the drive and motivation to join. Some project applications are quite long, so we don’t expect you to come up with essays – just be natural, honest and let your personality shine through.
- Connection and motivation related to the topic
We want to see why you’re interested in the project, what spiked your interest and how you’ll be able to contribute with your presence. If you’d like to explore the topic in-depth, or maybe there’s a specific piece of information that you’d like to learn, or maybe a specific method you’d like to experience, share it with us! If you’re here to meet people, exchange ideas and you know you have a bubbly personality that can contribute to the mood of the rest of the participants, please share it! We’d love to see both your strengths and learning goals, so don’t be afraid to speak in details. Mention specific ways you can contribute to the project, such as:
- Vulnerability
We enjoy hearing the stories of people. If you’ve faced challenges that relate to the project’s theme, share how you’ve grown from them. Be honest about your weaknesses – mention what you’d like to improve or learn. For us, it’s also important to see how participating in the project aligns with your personal journey.
- Approachability
We like to see people who get along with others in an intercultural setting and can bring value to a group. In your application, use warm, conversational language – readability is more important than fancy vocabulary. Highlight past experiences where you collaborated well with others, show us you’re a team player!
- Ability to deliver the learning back home
Share how you intend to use the knowledge gained, for example hosting workshops, leading discussions, or creating online content. Explain how your participation could benefit others around you in your local community.
Extra tips:
Avoid generic responses. Tailor your answers to the specific project – no project coordinator likes to think that you’re applying to everything you see.
Double-check for typos, but don’t overthink. Imperfection is okay.
Late applications rarely make a good impression. Submit as soon as possible, as most applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Preparation and follow-up
Once you’ve been selected to participate in an Erasmus+ project, preparation is key. Here are some tips to prepare adequately:
1. First things first, read the infopack again
The project’s infopack is your go-to guide. Most logistical details—like accommodation, meals, and reimbursement policies—will be outlined there. Revisit it to ensure you haven’t missed any critical information.
2. Plan your transportation
Clarify how travel arrangements will be managed. Ask:
- Who pays for the tickets initially? Will you cover the cost and get reimbursed, or will the sending organization handle the purchase?
- Who finds the tickets? Do you need to find your own itinerary, or will the hosting organization suggest travel plans?
- Once your travel plans are confirmed, buy your tickets as early as possible to secure lower prices. Keep all original receipts and travel documents organized in a dedicated folder. For flights, take screenshots of your boarding passes, as digital ones may disappear from airline apps. Following the project coordinator’s reimbursement guidelines is crucial in this step so that reimbursement procedures are as simple as possible.
3. Time to pack!
Packing for Erasmus+ projects involves more than just clothes:
- If the event includes an intercultural evening, bring something unique from your culture—such as food, traditional clothing, or a presentation.
- Consider the season and location of the event to pack appropriately. Most details about what you need you will be able to find in the infopack.
- Don’t forget essentials like a reusable water bottle, power adapters (are the sockets the same as they are in your country?), and any specific items mentioned in the infopack.
4. Connect with other participants
Join any groups created for the project, such as on Facebook or WhatsApp. These platforms are great for networking, coordinating travel with others, and sharing tips or questions about the event.
5. Communicate with your sending organization
Reach out to your sending organization before the project begins. Getting to know them will help you better understand their expectations, the support they offer and what you may need to prepare.
- After the project
Your role as a participant doesn’t end when the project concludes. Here’s how to make the most of the experience:
1. Plan a follow-up activity
Most Erasmus+ projects encourage or require participants to create a follow-up activity. This could be a workshop, presentation, or report where you share what you’ve learned with your community or organization. It’s a great way to amplify the impact of the project and inspire others. Take time to think about what you gained—personally and professionally. Write about it, share your thoughts with others, and incorporate the skills you learned into your daily life or work.
2. Stay connected
Maintain the relationships you built during the project. Networking with participants, trainers, and organizers can lead to future collaborations and opportunities.
Frequently asked questions
Of course, we’re perfectly aware that you may have more questions in regards to Erasmus+ as a whole. Here are some of the frequently asked questions we get:
1. I really like a project, but I cannot afford to pay the participation fee. Can something be done?
Many Erasmus+ projects charge no participation fee, but if there is one and you’re unable to pay, don’t hesitate to reach out to the sending organization or hosting organization. They may offer a reduction, waive the fee entirely, or help you find a solution. Be transparent about your situation as Erasmus+ programs often aim to make participation accessible to everyone. At Creatosphere, for example, we see the participation fee as a request, and we aim to include everybody – so if your motivation to join is strong, don’t hesitate to reach out and we’ll find a solution!
2. What happens if I can’t afford the travel expenses upfront?
Travel costs are usually reimbursed after the project, but some organizations may help you cover them in advance if you can’t afford to pay upfront. Contact the sending organization as early as possible to discuss your options. Providing proof of financial need may be required.
3. What if I have dietary restrictions or special needs?
Inform the hosting organization about your dietary needs (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) or other requirements (e.g., mobility assistance) as soon as possible (this may also be asked in the application form). Erasmus+ projects are designed to accommodate diversity, and hosts usually strive to make adjustments to ensure your comfort and participation.
4. What if my travel plan changes or I miss a flight/train?
Immediately inform both the hosting and sending organizations. Keep all documentation (e.g., receipts, tickets) for any alternative arrangements you make. While travel changes may affect reimbursement, clear communication and evidence of unforeseen circumstances (like delays or cancellations) can help resolve issues. We recommend you to get a flexible ticket if that’s an option, as missing a flight will be much less of a hassle in those cases.
5. Do I need insurance for the project?
Yes, it’s usually required. Many Erasmus+ projects include reimbursable insurance for participants, but double-check the infopack or ask your sending organization. If insurance isn’t provided, you’ll need to arrange your own travel and health insurance. European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) can be useful within the EU. We also recommend you getting additional travel insurance for lost luggage, missed connections and so on.
6. Do I need a visa to attend?
Check the visa requirements for the country hosting the project. If you need one, contact the hosting organization for an official invitation letter, which is often required for visa applications. Apply for your visa as early as possible to avoid delays.
7. Can I arrive earlier or stay longer than the project dates?
Yes, but only if it fits within the reimbursement rules. Erasmus+ typically allows a maximum of 1–2 additional days for personal travel, provided your total travel cost doesn’t exceed the allocated budget. Inform the hosting organization in advance, and make sure your plans don’t interfere with project activities.
8. What if I get sick or have an emergency during the project?
Inform the hosting organisation immediately. They are responsible for your well-being and will assist you with medical care or any necessary arrangements. Make sure you have your health insurance card or policy details on hand.
9. Can I skip certain activities during the project?
Active participation is a key expectation for Erasmus+ projects. If you’re unwell or have a valid reason to miss an activity, communicate with the trainers or organizers. Skipping activities without a valid reason may affect your participation or even reimbursement.
10. Will I receive a certificate for participating?
Yes, Erasmus+ projects provide a Youthpass Certificate or equivalent, which documents your learning outcomes. Make sure you actively participate in all activities and complete any required follow-ups to receive it.
11. What if I don’t speak the main language used in the project?
Erasmus+ projects are designed for international participants, so activities are often conducted in simple English or another agreed-upon language. Trainers are skilled in facilitating inclusivity, and translation help from other participants is usually available if needed.
So, that’s it from us for the time-being. If you have any questions regarding Erasmus+, don’t hesitate to reach out to hello@creatospohere.org – we’re always happy to support! Check out some of our projects as well, we’ll be happy to see you there!
This is my inspiration for this theme and it is something I recently discovered as a mindset. I found new logic for my entire life through caring for another and how much hope that brings to an individual when they have to do things to make another creature’s life better and not their own. Which of course makes everyone in the equation happy.
