Tell your training experience or your stay abroad for a youth exchange, demonstrating the real impact of Erasmus+ Youth (youth exchanges and training courses for youth workers) and volunteering with European Solidarity Corps.

In light of the changes proposed by the European Commission to the two main youth mobility programs in Europe, and to youth policies and international volunteering in general, we want to share with the protagonists, young people and youth workers, how these programs have been authentic and powerful drivers of personal, professional, and social growth.

The goal is to collect 1000 stories, concrete examples of how these programs have helped change the lives of participants by acting as skill multipliers, developing adaptability, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.

You can add your own story here Just:

• Open the map and click to add a new post.
• Please select your country of origin (NOT your destination country).
• Title your post by including your name and the country where the experience took place.
• Use the correct color pins: green (E+ training course), pink (ESC), orange (E+ youth exchange).
• Add a photo or video of yourself from the activity (if other people appear, it's important to get their permission).
• Briefly describe the experience, focusing on the concrete impact: what changed at the end of the trip and why it was important.

These stories will be shared with policymakers, in deliberative forums, and with key stakeholders in the decision-making process for new European programs. This is a great opportunity to share their experiences and add value to youth mobility programs over the next decade and Erasmus+ 2028-2034, keeping young people, volunteering, and non-formal education at the center.
