Erasmus+ environmental youth exchanges in Europe

Overview

Erasmus+ youth exchange programs in mid-2026 focused on environmental sustainability and intercultural dialogue across various European regions.

In May 2026, Austrian primary school students visited Utebo, Spain, to collaborate with Croatian and Spanish peers on sustainability topics such as phone recycling and waste management. In July 2026, youths from Vorarlberg participated in an exchange in Palermo, Sicily, involving workshops on water scarcity and sustainable living.

Later in the summer, the ‘Time is Running Out’ project in San Giorgio di Gioiosa Marea, Sicily, brought together 30 participants from Italy, Spain, Albania, Serbia, and Hungary. Coordinated by EUducation Italy, this initiative addressed climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss through non-formal education and group workshops designed to foster environmental engagement and address shared European challenges such as resource consumption.
