Erasmus+ is the EU’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport. With an estimated budget of €26.2 billion for 2021, it provides opportunities for over 4 million participants to study, train, gain experience, and volunteer abroad.

The 2021-2027 programme places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life.

In addition to offering grants, Erasmus+ also supports teaching, research, networking and policy debate on EU topics. The sports chapter promotes grassroots activities in sports.

Through strategic collaboration with the European Commission’s Erasmus+ Programme, we organize international exchanges that allow young people from Sint Maarten to visit, live, and learn in European countries. These experiences help participants develop a global perspective, gain cross-cultural understanding, and build lifelong friendships. Conversely, we also host incoming youth from Europe for cultural immersion experiences on the island.
