Whether for a few days, weeks, months, or even years - funded or self-financed, as part of education or during holidays - the range of international programmes that young people can take part in is vast. However, this wide variety of opportunities and offers often leads to disorientation and frustration among many young people.
This makes it all the more important for young people to have easy access to high-quality information and to receive neutral, cross-organisational guidance from trusted persons in their immediate environment. This is where Eurodesk’s Mobility Advisors Training comes in.
Eurodesk mobility advisors support young people on their path abroad by providing personal, free-of-charge, and neutral information about their opportunities.
Training content
The training focuses on individual stays abroad. It covers opportunities available to young people aged 13 to 30. Funded programmes and financial support options receive particular attention.
The following topics are covered:
- Mobility programmes
