Yet behind the institutions of Brussels and Strasbourg lies a system of programmes, rights, and tools designed specifically for young people: students, recent graduates, apprentices, and workers under the age of 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the freedom to study abroad on an Erasmus grant, to the chance to look for work in any Member State without visas or permits, to European funds that finance youth start-ups and educational projects \u2014 Europe offers a network of opportunities that we often don\u2019t know enough about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cEurope is not just made of rules and bureaucracy: it is made of people, exchanges, and experiences. It\u2019s up to us young people to make the most of it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>ERASMUS+: MUCH MORE THAN A SEMESTER ABROAD<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Erasmus programme was launched in 1987 to promote university mobility across Europe. Today, in its updated form as Erasmus+, it has become the world\u2019s largest education, training, and sport programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a budget of over \u20ac26 billion for the period 2021\u20132027, &nbsp;it funds not only university students, but also secondary school pupils, apprentices, volunteers and teachers. The figures speak for themselves: since 1987, over 13 million people have taken part in the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Who is eligible to apply?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access to Erasmus+ is not restricted to university students alone. The main categories include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022University students (mobility periods of 2 to 12 months)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Secondary school students (Erasmus+ School Education programme)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Young workers and apprentices (Erasmus+ VET \u2013 Vocational Education and Training)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Volunteers aged 17 to 30 (European Solidarity Corps)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Teachers and trainers wishing to undertake professional development abroad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How does the scholarship work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grant partially covers living and accommodation costs abroad. The amount varies depending on the destination country and the student\u2019s family income (those with a lower income receive an additional grant ). Credits earned abroad are automatically recognised through the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). According to the European Commission, 40% of participants find their first job thanks to the contacts made during their time abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Working in Europe: rights and opportunities<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the fundamental pillars of the European Union is the free movement of workers. Every European citizen has the right to seek employment and reside in any Member State without special permits. This is a well-established right, enshrined in the European Treaties, which also applies to young people at the start of their working lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>EURES: the European job portal<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few people know it, but EURES (European Employment Services) is the EU\u2019s official job-search portal. It lists over 4 million job vacancies across 31 countries and is completely free to use. EURES advisers, who are also based at Italian job centres, help young people navigate the European labour market, have their professional qualifications recognised, and understand local regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Youth Guarantee<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Youth Guarantee programme is a European initiative that commits Member States to offering unemployed people under the age of 30 a concrete opportunity \u2014 a job,an internship or a training couse \u2014 within four months of finishing their studies or losing their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Italy, the programme is managed through the job Centres and offers incentives to companies that hire young people, as well as extracurricular internships and vocational training &nbsp;couses funded with European resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these opportunities, challenges remain. Youth unemployment is still a structural problem across the EU: according to 2025 Eurostat data, the European average stands at around 14%, with peaks exceeding 25% in some Southern European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, access to transport is not yet evenly distributed: those from outlying areas or less well-off families benefit from it to a lesser extent. For this reason, the European Commission has recently increased funding for inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Europe is us: participation is a choice<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Union is a project in constant evolution. Knowing your rights, keeping up to date with programmes and taking part in democratic life \u2014 even if only by voting \u2014 are choices that every young person can make. Europe is not an abstract entity: it is the grant that changes a life, or the portal that helps you find a job in Berlin.&nbsp; It\u2019s up to us to decide whether to embrace it as an opportunity or dismiss it as something far away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6cd6adbf2f10b8d998c7a901dfe69bbb\">Quando si parla di Unione Europea, l&#8217;immaginazione corre spesso a vertici istituzionali, trattati internazionali o sigle difficili da ricordare.
