Frequently Asked Questions

Who can take part in Erasmus+ projects with GEM?

Students, recent graduates, teachers, trainers, and school staff from schools, training bodies, and European partner organizations can take part. Some projects are also aimed at young people seeking their first job. If you’re under 30 and looking for a learning experience outside Italy, you’re in the right place!

How long do Erasmus+ internships abroad last?

It depends on the project: generally from 2 weeks up to 3 months. Some programs can last up to 6 months. The duration is set according to learning objectives, participant profiles, and agreements with host partners.

Are Erasmus+ projects free of charge?

Participation is completely free for selected candidates. Erasmus+ calls cover all main expenses: travel, accommodations, insurance, local transportation, and training activities. The only cost left to participants is meals (daily food).

Do I need to speak Italian to take part?

No. Even if the experience is in Italy, you don’t need to speak Italian well. GEM tutors and contacts support participants in English or through language mediation, and many host organizations are used to working with international students. During your stay, you’ll also have the chance to learn Italian naturally through everyday life.
