EuroPeers Annual Network Meeting 2024

EuroPeers are young people who have participated in the Erasmus+ Youth or European Solidarity Corps Programme and want to share their European experiences with their peers. They inform young people in schools, fairs, youth clubs, cultural centres, social media or on the street and talk about their experiences. They inform about the Erasmus+ Youth/European Solidarity Corps Programme and their opportunities, as well as other mobility Programmes. By organising or participating in all kinds of activities, like workshops, informative events or discussions, supporting NA events, and organising exhibitions, they motivate young people to become active and explore Europe.

There are active EuroPeers networks in Austria, Belgium DE, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden. Besides, there are some other countries who have been part of the network or who are temporarily inactive.
