Erasmus Days 2024: What they are and how to participate

From October 14 to 19, Erasmus Days 2024 will take place across Europe, celebrating the incredible opportunities that the Erasmus+ programme offers young people like you. During these days, you’ll have the chance to explore how Erasmus+ can help you travel, gain new experiences, and acquire valuable skills for your future.

What are the Erasmus Days?

Erasmus Days is an international event featuring hundreds of activities across various countries. Participating schools, universities, and youth organizations will host workshops, meetings, and experience-sharing sessions to showcase their journeys and explain how you can get involved.

Why should you attend the Erasmus Days?

Attending Erasmus Days opens the door to the world of the Erasmus+ programme and shows you how it can transform your life. Here are some compelling reasons to join:

1. Discover New Opportunities: Erasmus Days provide the perfect platform to learn about international mobility options available to you. Whether you’re interested in a cultural exchange, internship, or studying abroad, you’ll surely find opportunities that suit your interests.
2. Hear From Those Who Have Experienced It: at the events, you’ll get to listen to stories from fellow young people who have participated in Erasmus+. They’ll share what they learned, how they overcame challenges, and how these experiences changed their lives.
3. Broaden Your Horizons: Erasmus+ is about more than just travel; it’s also about intercultural learning. By participating, you’ll meet people from different countries, learn new languages, and open your mind to cultures beyond your own.

Themes of Erasmus Days 2024

This year, Erasmus Days will focus on three main themes that may interest you:

1. Social Inclusion: Erasmus+ aims to ensure that everyone, including young people with fewer opportunities, can participate in international experiences. If you feel excluded or think these opportunities aren’t for you, Erasmus Days will show you that Erasmus+ is open to all.
2. Green and Digital Transition: The Erasmus+ programme supports projects that allow you to contribute to the fight against climate change while gaining essential digital skills that are increasingly important for the future.
3. Active Citizenship: Erasmus+ is not just about travel and fun; it’s also a way to become a more active and aware citizen by participating in projects that make a difference in society.
