The conference brought together experts from various fields to discuss the future of the programs for the next seven-year period.

Throughout the day, diverse and inspiring discussions took place, along with workshops exploring ways to enhance the impact and accessibility of the programs.

Key themes included increasing program flexibility, simplifying the application process, and providing better support for participants. Special emphasis was placed on skills development, competitiveness, and the programs’ impact on the future of young people and volunteers.

The conference also offered valuable networking opportunities and laid the foundation for future collaboration. The next important step is the Open Public Consultation query, where stakeholders can influence the direction of program development.

By engaging in this discussion, we can work together to ensure that Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps remain strong and accessible in the future
