Introduction
European Year of Youth 2022
2022 was the European Year of Youth, shining a light on the importance of European youth to build a better future – greener, more inclusive and digital. There were plenty of opportunities to learn, share your vision, meet people and engage in activities all over Europe. Have a look at what we achieved in 2022 to celebrate young people in Ireland!

Erasmus+ 2021-2027
Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport. It provides funding and support for organisations to carry out projects that match its objectives, and that encourage European exchange, co-operation and learning.
Mobility Projects for Youth Workers
European Solidarity Corps
Young people aged 18 to 30 can volunteer in projects that meet community needs, or set up their own ‘Solidarity’ project to address an issue they are concerned about. Youth organisations can send or receive volunteers as part of the programme.
