INTERNSHIP PROGRAMMES IN ATHENS
The Erasmus+ programme is an educational programme funded by the European Union. It gives university students, vocational students and teachers the chance to participate in mobility and training projects across Europe. Its main aim is to enable European citizens to live, study and work in another European country for a certain period of time.
What are the benefits of an Erasmus+ project?
​
-
Experience Athens: a vibrant, hospitable and exciting city, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
-
Improve your English: like in most international work settings, we all speak English as the shared European communication language.
-
Gain job & life skills: become more independent and self-confident, learn how to adapt to a new environment, challenge yourself and return to your home-country with a suitcase full of new life experiences!
-
Boost your CV: demonstrate to future employers that you are not afraid of trying out something new and that you are capable to work in an international environment.

Make new friends: meet new people from all over the world through the Erasmus+ community in Athens, your workplace and simply by exploring Athens!
