Travels

Traveling is a very important tool for the personal development and the development of skills such as responsibility, autonomy and motivation. We believe that we are all travelers and the way we travel depends on our characteristics, dreams and goals – some people like to walk with their backpack and stop in different countries to volunteer, others prefer to travel while doing an semester in Erasmus and others transform a gap year in a few years’ project and take advantage of the most varied opportunities around the world.

As young people living in the European Union we have a lot of opportunities to integrate different projects and in the Youth Cluster you will find several opportunities that you can combine in order to make your trips more dynamic, less expensive and, in which you can define more educational and professional goals.

Travel Contests
