EuroPeers Training Course

Hello Future EuroPeer! You did a volunteering activity, participated in a youth exchange, travelled through Europe with DiscoverEU or organised a solidarity project? Probably you gained lots of 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 a thing, we invite you warmly to become a EuroPeer! EuroPeers are young people who have already taken part in an European Solidarity Corps/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 story tell your experience as a EuroPeer online and offline. 

You will become part of a growing international network of active young people, meet other EuroPeers, get to know more about the European youth programmes and attend workshops on project planning and communicating the European idea. You will also have time to develop your first own EuroPeer activity. During a virtual follow-up meeting about in autumn (September or Ocotber) where you will reconnect with the other participants and plan future events. At the end of the training you will receive a certificate.
