MSP Encourages Youth Groups to Apply for Erasmus Funding

Banffshire and Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson is encouraging youth organisations to apply for Erasmus + funding.

It has been revealed that there is more than €12million of funding available with the deadline for applications closing later this month.

The Erasmus+ funding enables participants from the UK to go abroad to study, work, volunteer, teach or train.

It funds around 16,000 higher education students to benefit from a study or work placement abroad.

The funding is open to schools, further and higher education, adult education and youth organisations.

Commenting, Banffshire and Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson said:

“The Erasmus+ programme has benefited many young people for years.

“I am pleased even more funding have been made available to help even more young people and groups in my constituency benefit from these opportunities.

“I would encourage everyone to take a look at the possibilities available for them to teach, learn and live abroad.”
