A new phase, involving even more partners, for a strong and widespread message in the European Union and its local communities. The PEACE project, an acronym for Participation Erasmus Alumni for Civic Engagement, born to foster synergies among the Erasmus+ Alumni, Ambassadors and Role Model networks in all the areas of the Programme, grows and continues its journey until 2027 under the name PEACE+, putting in place four lines of action common to all the Erasmus+ National Agencies: Networks, Training, Communication and Scientific Research.

What are the new objectives of PEACE+?

Now, the primary objective is to improve young people and students’ understanding of European values, but also to raise awareness of the benefits of EU membership for citizens, while promoting greater civic engagement and democratic participation, which are essential and vital not only for the future of Erasmus+, but also of the European Union itself. The aim of the PEACE+ project is to reach out to hesitant people and inspire young people to take an active role in the democratic life of the Union, while also providing concrete examples of good practices of participation and positive outcomes for citizens.

PEACE+ doubles up with collaboration between 21 Erasmus+ National Agencies

Under the motto Empowering citizens, shaping Europe, the second and new phase of the Long-Term Activities (LTA) project continues to be coordinated by the Erasmus+ National Agency INDIRE, but now brings together 21 Erasmus+ National Agencies, double the 11 that participated in the first phase, which started in 2022 and ended in April 2025.
