Education network - Youth BCN

What is the Youth BCN Erasmus + Education Network?

The Youth BCN Erasmus + Education Network is a trusted international community of public and officially recognised educational institutions committed to high-quality, safe, and meaningful international cooperation, with a strong focus on Erasmus+ mobility projects.

Youth BCN is a non-profit organization based in Barcelona that supports educational institutions in building long-term international partnerships and implementing Erasmus+ mobilities with confidence and clarity. We act as a bridge between schools, providing structure, reliability, and up-to-date expertise.

The network is open to primary, secondary and VET institutions, as well as other recognised education providers interested in international cooperation. We believe international exchange should start early and grow progressively with students’ age, experience and institutional readiness.

What We Stand For

Safety & Trust – reliable partners, clear roles, transparent communication
Quality – meaningful learning experiences aligned with Erasmus+ standards
Sustainability – long-term partnerships, not one-off projects
Accessibility – support adapted to different levels of Erasmus+ experience

Being a member does not mean giving up autonomy. Educational content and learning objectives remain fully in schools’ hands. Youth BCN provides a framework that makes international cooperation easier, safer and more effective.

The Youth BCN Erasmus + Education Network is free of charge, as Youth BCN operates as a non-profit organisation committed to equal access to international education opportunities.
