A continent of opportunities:
programs and initiatives for young people in Europe

Europe is not just a geographical continent and the European Union is not just a union of some nation states.

For young men and women and for those who work with them, Europe is also a continent full of opportunities, programs and initiatives that allow them to travel, study, grow personally and professionally, learn about new cultures and countries and build a career.

With this little guide, available online in 51 different languages, we want to offer everyone a window into this fantastic world.
Whether you are a young person, a student, an activist in a youth organization, looking for work; whether you work for and with young people, or are a social worker, or even a young person who does not attend education or training courses, this guide will help you discover new horizons, benefit from new and varied opportunities, to be experienced in a group or alone, for a short period of a few days or for a year.

You will find information on the most well-known and widespread programmes, such as Erasmus+ or the European Solidarity Corps, but also on lesser-known programs and initiatives, such as Alma, Eurodyssey or Eures, which are no less important. *

Lift the sails and start sailing!
