EYE Opener – Training Course On Empowerment in Youth Exchanges



27 October – 1 November 2025 | Kouvola, Finland

Learn how to make great youth exchanges! Come together with 1–2 young people (aged 15–18) from your organisation – and let it be their project from the start.

EYE Opener is an international training course for youth workers and young people who want to plan and implement high-quality Erasmus+ youth exchanges.

The course helps you explore what quality means in a youth exchange and gives you the chance to start developing real project ideas with possible partners. The aim is to prepare teams to confidently apply for the next Erasmus+ deadline.

PLEASE NOTE: This training is for teams of a youth worker + 1-2 young people from the same organisation. You cannot apply as an individual.

We especially welcome organisations working with young people from migrant, refugee, or asylum seeker backgrounds. Our goal is to support their active participation and help them connect with peers across borders. Teams with this background will be prioritised in the participant selection.
