Call for Participants: Erasmus+ Youth Exchange “Borders of Freedom”

8–17 July 2025 | Międzybrodzie Bialskie, Poland

The Klaster Innowacji Społecznych (Poland) is now accepting applications for the international youth exchange “Borders of Freedom”, organised under the Erasmus+ Programme (KA151-YOU). The exchange will take place from 8 to 17 July 2025 in Czernichów, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

This project will bring together young people from Poland, Armenia, Georgia, Greece, and Spain to explore the topic of democracy, civic participation, and the growing challenge of authoritarianism in Europe and its neighbouring regions. Participants will engage in workshops, discussions, simulations, and intercultural learning. The exchange will culminate in the co-creation of a Youth Manifesto for Democracy.
