Questions & answers
How many youth exchanges are open right now?
29 youth exchanges are open for applications on Erasmus Search. The nearest deadline is 31 October 2026.
Who can join an Erasmus+ youth exchange?
Young people aged 13 to 30 who live in one of the countries taking part in the project. Each national group travels with a group leader aged 18 or over. Many projects set a narrower age range, so check the infopack.
How long does a youth exchange last?
Between 5 and 21 days, not counting travel days.
How much does a youth exchange cost?
Erasmus+ pays for these projects: accommodation and food are usually provided, and travel costs are reimbursed up to a limit that depends on the distance. Some organisations ask for a small membership or participation fee; the infopack says if there is one.
How do I apply for a youth exchange?
Open the project page, read the infopack and use the application link. You usually apply through the partner organisation in your country that is named in the infopack, and the organisers select the participants.
Do I get a certificate?
Participants can receive a Youthpass certificate that describes what they learned during the project.
