Do you know that organisations and informal groups of young people can receive support to carry out projects, bringing together young people from different countries to exchange and learn outside their formal educational system? 
Erasmus + supports non-formal learning mobility of young people and youth workers in the form of Youth Exchanges and mobility for people who work in the field of youth. These actions provide non-formal and informal learning opportunities for young people and youth workers. Learning activities within the youth field are meant to have a significantly positive impact on young people as well as on the organisations involved, the communities in which these activities take place, the youth field itself and the European economic and societal sectors at large. (Erasmus+ EU programme for education, training, youth and sport)﻿
