DiscoverEU 4 you(th) - Empowering Youth with Fewer Opportunities Through Discover EU Inclusion Action Projects, 2nd edition

DiscoverEU projects offer young people the opportunity to travel across Europe by rail for a short period of time independently or in groups. It aims to enhance its inclusion dimension by providing extra support to participants who have fewer opportunities to visit Europe. The participants should be 18 years old at the official start of the project.

As a result of the high interest of potential applicants and the need to support the quality of projects within this Action, the Serbian Erasmus+ National Agency Foundation Tempus will hold a training course in Belgrade from August 6 to 9, 2024.
