Finances: The costs for the accommodation and the activities in Germany are covered by the fund of the European Commission. From our side there is no participation fee for this Youth Workers Mobility. Due to the funding of the European Commission, we will be able to assist you by contributing to the following costs. Portugal -360, Madeira island -530 euros
According to the rules of the Erasmus+ programme, we will reimburse the travel costs on the basis of the cheapest options (e.g. second class railway tickets, APEX-flights) upon receipt of complete and original tickets, invoices, bills, receipts, boarding cards etc. based on a certain “contribution to the travel costs of participants, from their place of origin to the venue of the activity and return”. This contribution is “based on the travel distance per participant. Travel distances must be calculated using the distance calculator supported by the European Commission”. Please keep in mind that in the final calculation the place of origin of each participant is used to calculate the maximum contribution to the travel costs. This means that the reimbursed amount can be lower than indicated here.
If you arrive earlier or stay longer, we cannot host you free of charge. We will provide an insurance for everyone that takes part in the activities.
