SHORT MOBILITY PROGRAMMES
Short-term mobility programmes are experiences that bring together participants from various European and Euro-Mediterranean countries so that they can reflect, learn and take action together on a variety of topics: the environment, youth engagement, artificial intelligence, inclusion of disadvantaged groups, the circular economy, etc. The aim is to develop skills so that participants can become active players in these areas within their local communities.
During these meetings, which may take the form of seminars, youth exchanges or Erasmus+ training courses, various activities are organised (round tables, workshops, conferences, focus groups, exchanges of good practices, meetings, etc.) to address the theme of mobility around non-formal education (learning methods outside the school setting based on participation and exchange through practical and collaborative activities).
Short-term mobility programmes are organised by AMSED or its partner associations throughout the year. Opportunities are published on AMSED’s social media channels.
Here are some examples of short-term mobility programmes for which AMSED was a partner and sent participants:Artificial intelligence in education (Greece)
Empowering young people for a sustainable future (Cyprus)
Inclusion and democratic participation of young people (Spain)
Understanding the circular economy (Cyprus)

Les objectifs des mobilités courtes pour les participants
- Promote intercultural exchange and encounters between participants from different countries
- Discover new best practices and share experiences
- Develop key and transferable skills in implementing ENF youth initiatives, activities and projects
- Stimulate civic engagement and active participation in society
- Strengthen one’s capacities for personal and professional development and participation in society as an active and responsible citizen

Following the mobility programme, a Youthpass certificate is awarded at the end of the stay, certifying the skills acquired. This certificate is the European Union’s official instrument for recognising experiences gained through European youth programmes. It allows the skills acquired during the mobility programme to be highlighted and can be used to enhance professional prospects.
Séminaires organisés par l’AMSED
Every year, AMSED organises seminars for youth workers and young people from various European and Euro-Mediterranean countries (Cyprus, Spain, Egypt, Lithuania, Norway, Turkey, Morocco, Belgium, Romania, Bulgaria, Sweden, etc.) to strengthen their skills, raise awareness and provide training on various topics, and create synergies.
