Eurodesk: Mobility Opportunities for Young Europeans

Eurodesk is youth information center. Its creation dates back to 1990. Eurodesk works in support to the Erasmus Plus programme and, as such, makes available to young Europeans the information about mobility opportunities across Europe. As a structure, Eurodesk provides 38 Centres in connection to local information providers in 36 European countries.

The overall mission of Eurodesk is to raise awareness on European opportunities and encourages young people to become active citizens. It federates over 1500 so-called “multipliers and ambassadors” that are regional or local organisations working with young people, delivering youth information and advising young people on mobility opportunities.
