Plenty of Erasmus+ projects. None quite like this one.

Eurolibrary bridges cultural gaps by putting young people face to face with the communities they travel through. The result is more understanding, more empathy and lasting relationships, plus real tools to push back against discrimination and promote inclusion.

How Eurolibrary evolved

Eurolibrary was born in 2021 from an Erasmus+ partnership between NGOs from Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Greece.

We started with one question: how do we get young Europeans to engage with each other in a meaningful way? The answer grew into a platform for cultural exchange and community connection, with a real impact on participants' lives.

Five NGOs, one living library

Eurolibrary is coordinated by Asociación Xeración and carried out together with four partner organisations.

How the project connects with Erasmus+ priorities

Four ideas run through every chapter.

Inclusion and diversity

The Human Library gives a voice to marginalised and underrepresented young people, and brings together participants from five countries.

Green mobility

Train, feet, bikes, ferries and a shared campervan. How we travelled was part of the message.

Civic engagement

Public events in local communities and schools, where young people start conversations that challenge prejudice.

Digital storytelling

More than 150 videos, podcasts and reels carried the stories beyond the places we visited.
