Erasmus+ opened up for the youth & sport sector.
Youth groups, charities, NGOs and grassroots sport clubs have their own routes into Erasmus+ funding — and we know exactly how to unlock them.
The UK is rejoining Erasmus+ from 2027 — the next funding round opens November 2026. Turing is winding down and Erasmus+ is taking over. We'll get you ready for both. See the timeline →
Turing is education-only. Erasmus+ is your route.
The UK Turing Scheme funds schools, FE colleges, universities and apprenticeship providers — not youth or sport organisations. Erasmus+, by contrast, has dedicated Youth (KA152) and Sport (KA182) actions that UK organisations can access via partner-led routes.
Erasmus+ Youth & Sport, made simple
From your first idea to the final report, we handle the funding, partners and logistics — you focus on the young people.
Group youth exchanges (KA152)
Bring young people together with European peers for short, themed exchanges focused on active citizenship, inclusion and personal development.
Youth worker mobility
Training, job shadowing and study visits for your youth workers — sharpen practice and build a European peer network.
Grassroots sport projects (KA182)
Small-scale collaborative partnerships for grassroots clubs and sport-for-development organisations.
Inclusion-led design
Built around young people with fewer opportunities — disability, low income, rural, NEET and care-experienced participants.
How UK youth & sport organisations access Erasmus+
Post-Brexit, UK organisations participate as a third country in international cooperation strands, or partner with organisations in EU Programme Countries (Northern Ireland-based partners can also apply directly via the Republic of Ireland's national agency). We broker the partnerships, write the bid and run the project end-to-end.

Built for young people with fewer opportunities
