Erasmus+ Learning Journeys for Adults – Rethinking Europe Together
Stories and Experiences that Move Europe – Literally.
Erasmus+ empowers adults to learn from Europe’s pioneers in sustainability, civic action and innovation. Through international learning journeys, adults, educators, volunteers and changemakers connect with inspiring initiatives – from green urban planning to regenerative village life. Erasmus+ supports lifelong learning across all ages: from school partnerships and student exchanges to vocational upskilling and adult education. What unites them all? A shared vision of a more just, sustainable and connected Europe – shaped through real encounters and transformative experiences. The Learning Journeys are part of a modular program by bachmann-education

This Erasmus+ learning journey leads through Paris – a city where green and sustainable development is at the heart of urban planning, driven by the bold and visionary leadership of its mayor. Participants gain insight into how climate-resilient city concepts are being implemented in a European capital. The journey continues into northern Spain, where participants discover initiatives in community-supported agriculture, explore the region’s natural biodiversity, and learn how abandoned or decaying houses can become the foundation for regenerative village development: developing ideas for self-sufficient energy systems and community-based living.
Sicily

Creative Regeneration and Food Culture in Sicily. This Erasmus+ learning journey explores social and cultural transformation in rural and urban Sicily. In Palermo, participants visit a former monastery that has been revitalised as a dynamic centre for art, culture and civic engagement through the Farm Cultural Park initiative – an inspiring example of creative regeneration. Further inland, the journey leads to Mussomeli, where participants experience the community-driven Kitchen for Good. Here, food becomes a tool for change: rescued ingredients are turned into delicious meals, fostering both sustainability and solidarity.
