Are you a person with fewer opportunities?

European youth programmes have always wanted to be inclusive of ALL young people, also (and especially!) those at the margins of society. Many efforts are undertaken to offer international mobility to these disadvantaged young people – or ‘young people with fewer opportunities’ (YPFO) as they are referred to.

Approximately one out of four participants in the Erasmus+ or ESC programme had fewer opportunities, according to European Commission statistics.

Young people with fewer opportunities’ are defined in the Erasmus+ programme guide as those young people who are at a disadvantage compared to their peers because they face one or more of the seven exclusion factors: disability, health problems, educational difficulties, cultural differences, economic obstacles, social obstacles or geographic obstacles. These factors can pose barriers to young people’s inclusion in society (e.g. education, labour market, housing, health, community)

The membership fee is not a direct participation fee for one specific local or international project. It does not guarantee selection for any activity or project, participation in any travel opportunity, funding, accommodation, insurance, visa appointment, visa issuance, or visa approval.

Some international opportunities may require additional application, selection, eligibility, documentation, travel, and visa procedures. These requirements may be determined by SYL, the hosting organization, donors, funding programmes, embassies, consulates, immigration authorities, or other competent public authorities.

International project participation is always subject to the applicable selection process, project requirements, available places, donor or host organization rules, visa procedures, project timelines, and final approval by the relevant parties.

Visa decisions remain solely under the authority of the relevant embassy, consulate, immigration authority, or competent public authority. SYL may provide reasonable support, guidance, and official project-related documents where applicable, but cannot guarantee any visa outcome.
