Support to Ukrainian refugees is a priority of Erasmus+ and other EU programmes

Supporting the integration of Ukrainian refugees is a top priority for EU programmes targeting youth such as Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. 

• Under the inclusion priority, Erasmus+ will for example support projects that promote educational activities and facilitate the integration of people fleeing the war in Ukraine into their new learning environments. 

Youth-led projects are welcomed. You can apply to Solidarity Projects or Youth Participation Activities. We recommend that you contact your Erasmus+ National Agency for more information on how to submit your project proposals.
