How does it work?
Follow these steps for your Erasmus+ journey with Tomorrow Hub.
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.
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.
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.
Mobility Period
Participants travel to the host country and actively participate in various activities, immerse themselves in the local culture, and develop valuable skills.
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.

- Local Currency: Keep some local cash for emergencies.

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.

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.
