Pēdējās atjaunināšanas datums ceturtdiena, 20/10/2022
Hello and welcome to the first episode of the podcast series in which we will be focusing on mobility opportunities in countries outside of the EU. We truly want to spread more information about it, so it’s easier for us to find ways to visit these countries.
This episode will take us to Switzerland. Today we will have 2 guests: Andreas Bosshart and Aldin Vrskic. Together with Andreas, we are going to discuss everything about financing projects and the interesting history of Switzerland – why it‘s not a programme country for Erasmus+ projects anymore.
In the second part of the episode, Aldin is going to explain how projects are being organised and the benefits of them. Most importantly, he is going to take us through Bosnia and Herzegovina’s cooperation with Switzerland through a project called “Dijaspora za Razvoj” (in Engl.: “Diaspora for Development”) in terms of mobility opportunities.
Below you'll find information for individuals looking for a mobility opportunity in Switzerland:
For organisations looking to organise a Youth Exchange or for a Youth Worker Mobility in Switzerland with a Swiss partner organisation, Movetia (Swiss National Agency for Exchange and Mobility) can provide further information.

Meet the authors Anna Marek and Agnė Jankauskaitė
"I'm a Polish girl who gained her journalistic experience in several places, including writing for magazines and working in radios. I'm up for all possible challenges, adding the right dose of humour to them. I am primarily interested in talking to young people who introduce real changes. An example is the Youth Climate Strike in Poland as a youth movement fighting for a legal change in the government's approach to the climate crisis. I am interested in writing about how European Union programmes give young people a chance and how they changed their lives. I am also interested in the exclusion that many young people face because of their place of residence, gender or sexual orientation. I would like to raise topics that draw attention to the real problems of young people. I am also more and more interested in the culture of the Balkans and Turkey and their inclusion and impact on the European Union." (Anna)
"I'm Agnė, a secondary-education student from Lithuania. And I would like to channel my next educational steps towards Journalism studies. I have also experience volunteering in a local library where I helped our local librarians to write reviews on the newest books and organise interactive events for young book lovers. My most loved ones decribe me as ambitious, energetic and positivite. I hope to spread similar energy through my work because writing articles, making videos and meeting people brings me happiness."
