Becoming a EuroPeer : international introductory training course

You did a volunteering activity, implemented a solidarity project or participated in a youth exchange, a youth participation project or a DiscoverEU mobility project? Probably you gained many experiences and got to know Europe from an exciting perspective. Are you interested in staying involved and sharing your experiences with others?

If you can imagine telling other young people about your European experiences and encouraging them to try such like, we warmly invite you to become a EuroPeer!

EuroPeers are young people who have already taken part in a European Solidarity Corps and/or Erasmus+ project. They share their experiences and inform other young people (their peers) about these opportunities and other ways to go abroad. This can be done in different ways and in the framework of various events.

During this international training course, you will learn how to organize different types of EuroPeer events and how to share your European experience effectively with your peers.

You will explore a growing international network of active young people, connect with EuroPeers who are already involved as those interested in becoming part of it; you will deepen your knowledge of European youth programmes, and join hands-on workshops on how to share your experience as a EuroPeer.' 

At the end of the training, you will receive the Youthpass certificate.

After the training, if you are motivated to join the EuroPeers network, please check the eligibility and enrollment requirements with the Erasmus+ Youth National Agency in your country of residence
