Erasmus+ Jugend is a dynamic program tailored for young individuals, focusing on non-formal and informal education within the broader Erasmus+ framework. Launched as part of the second generation of Erasmus+ in 2021, it aims to enhance learning mobility and foster cross-border cooperation among ten million Europeans across diverse backgrounds. The initiative emphasizes inclusion, environmental sustainability, and digital transformation, aligning closely with the European education strategy.

In Germany, 38 million euros in funding are allocated for Erasmus+ Jugend in 2024, supporting a variety of projects. Key offerings include youth participation projects like "Democracy Camp," DiscoverEU for accessible travel experiences, and training opportunities for youth workers. The program also manages tools and resources such as the Youthpass recognition instrument and Eurodesk for information dissemination.

By promoting active citizenship and skill development, Erasmus+ Jugend empowers young people to engage meaningfully in their communities and the wider European landscape.
