Erasmus+ Participant Guide

Everything you need to know for a successful Erasmus+ experience with Tomorrow Hub β€” from preparation to cultural representation.

What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus Plus is a European Union program that supports education, training, youth, and sports activities. It provides funding and opportunities for individuals and organizations to participate in international mobility, cooperation, and capacity-building initiatives, with the goal of promoting skills development, cultural exchange, and collaboration across European countries.

Process

How does it work?

Follow these steps for your Erasmus+ journey with Tomorrow Hub.

πŸ“ Step 1

Application

Interested individuals may apply to our projects, which offer numerous opportunities for personal growth. You can submit your application through our application form. The results will be communicated to you via email or social media.

πŸ” Step 2

Selection

Applicants will undergo a selection process based on criteria established by the program and our partners. These criteria may include language proficiency, the alignment of the mobility with their educational or professional objectives, as well as their motivation to participate in the project.

🎟️ Step 3

Preparation

Selected participants will be responsible for purchasing their flight tickets for the mobility. Don't worry, the hosting organization will later reimburse you for an amount up to approximately 275 euros, in accordance with the program's guidelines.

πŸ—ΊοΈ Step 4

Mobility Period

Participants travel to the host country and actively participate in various activities, immerse themselves in the local culture, and develop valuable skills.

πŸ† Step 5

Completion and Validation

Following the mobility period, participants typically receive a certificate, commonly known as the "Youth Pass," acknowledging the experience they gained abroad. Additionally, our NGO mandates a dissemination process, where participants are expected to share their experiences both with our association and their international experience on social media.

Essential Information

Preparation Guide

Everything you need to know before, during, and after your Erasmus+ experience.

1. Preparation

Review the Info Pack: It is crucial to thoroughly review the info pack. Each project is unique, and each partner may have specific requirements for participants.

Essential travel considerations:

  • Airport Security: Follow security rules by using 100 ml bottles for toiletries and essentials.
  • Passport and ID: Ensure your passport is valid where required, and your ID is up-to-date.
  • Local Currency: Keep some local cash for emergencies.
  • Weather and Packing: Check the weather and pack accordingly, including items like an umbrella, sunscreen, and sunglasses.

2. Participation

Participation in the mobility program is obligatory. Skipping activities is not permitted unless you have a valid reason, such as illness.

In such instances, please inform the organizer in advance. It's important to be physically and mentally present during the project and actively engage with fellow participants, showing respect to everyone involved.

3. Reimbursement

You must provide your documents to the organizer in the format they specify. Ensure that you retain all relevant documents, such as boarding passes and tickets.

Note: Expenses related to services like Uber or taxis are typically not eligible for reimbursement. Similarly, additional services on your flight, such as business class, food upgrades, or extra legroom, are also not covered.

Reimbursement will occur either after the project has concluded or, in some cases, during the project itself, depending on the specific project and its financial arrangements.

Common Questions

FAQ

βœ… Who can apply for Tomorrow Hub projects?

Our projects are open to young people who are motivated to learn, travel, and actively participate in Erasmus+ activities. Each project has its own age range and profile, so make sure to read the project description carefully before applying.

πŸ’Ά What is the contribution fee and why do we charge it?

The contribution fee is a payment made to Tomorrow Hub to support our work and cover organizational costs.

Tomorrow Hub does not directly receive funding for sending participants to these projects. In theory, Erasmus+ provides organizational support to sending organizations, but in practice, many coordinators do not offer this support to us.

Because of this, we ask for a contribution fee from participants who are able and willing to contribute. Please note that this fee is non-refundable.

We do not charge a fee for participants with fewer opportunities, such as those facing serious medical issues, financial hardship, or other situations described in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide.

✈️ Do I need to pay for my travel in advance?

Yes. Participants must be financially prepared to buy their travel tickets in advance. Travel costs are reimbursed after the project ends, according to the Erasmus+ rules and the limits specified by the coordinator. Make sure you can cover the initial cost before applying.

🏠 What costs are covered by the project?

Erasmus+ projects usually cover:

  • Accommodation
  • Food (3 meals per day)
  • Program activities
  • Travel reimbursement (up to a fixed limit)

Personal expenses and upgrades (extra luggage, early arrivals, tourism, etc.) are not covered.
