    From the 2nd until the 8th of June 2025, ELIX has the pleasure of being the hosting organisation for the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange “Artivism in Action” in Kryoneri, Corinthia. In today’s world, pressing issues such as climate change, human rights, and inequality are more urgent than ever. However, misinformation, stereotypes, and cultural differences often hinder meaningful dialogue. At the same time, intercultural exchange is essential for promoting understanding, inclusion, and collective action.

    ELIX is super excited to launch an amazing Youth Exchange all about mental health and intercultural dialogue. With mental health challenges on the rise, it's more important than ever to promote understanding, empathy, and inclusion. Mental health is something we all face, but stigma, misinformation, and cultural differences often make it hard to talk openly about it. That’s why our “Mind Matters” exchange brings these two powerful topics together – creating a safe, open space for young people to dive into the connection between mental health and cultural exchange.

    In cooperation with the Goethe Institute e.V., ELIX and other stakeholders started the "Your Language Counts!" project, dedicated to supporting the integration and educational success of multilingual students with a heritage language background. In an increasingly diverse Europe, multilingualism is the norm, presenting many opportunities but also challenges for students who must navigate a school system dominated by a language different from their heritage languages.

    Our project aim is to contribute to students’ overall academic achievements and foster a sense of belonging through knowledge and therefore pride in their languages.
    The term "heritage language" (or “home language”) refers to languages spoken at home, reflecting individual histories, traditions, and cultural identities. This includes students with a refugee or migrant background, heritage language speakers, second or third generation heritage language speakers, and any student with a diverse heritage language background.

(Democracy, Elections, Mentorship, Organizing) project organised by European Alternatives. European Alternatives works to promote democracy, equality and culture beyond the nation-state and imaginedemand and enact alternatives for a viable future.

    The “D.E.M.O.” programme aims at encouraging and facilitating the active engagement of a wide network of European citizens through both training & hands-on action, in the context of the upcoming 2024 European Elections. We just launched the open call to identify and select 50 change-makers from at least 8 countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Sweden and others) to participate in the D.E.M.O. programme. Those selected change-makers will receive the necessary tools to re-imagine democracy in their local communities and to encourage democratic participation.
