More Erasmus = More Europe

More Erasmus = More Europe

To reach all young people in Europe, we need five times the current Erasmus+ funding in the EU budget 2028-2034. We need to improve the programme to make it more accessible, efficient, and impactful in empowering young people and shaping a stronger future for our society.

Open letter: Don't cut young people out

01/07/2025

On Friday 27/05/2025 we sent a letter to call for a strong youth chapter, an independent ESC, and five times more funding. Young people's future must keep moving forward, not backwards. Europe should not cut costs on young people.
