Tell your Story is an Erasmus+ youth exchange run by BUNDjugend Berlin for country groups from Germany, France and Türkiye. Participants meet in Berlin to explore climate change through daily life and climate justice.
Across workshops using voice, movement, photography, video and audio, the group creates climate stories for a public closing event. The programme combines an online preparation meeting with the 14-day stay in Berlin.
Benefits & funding
- Erasmus+ covers accommodation, meals, programme activities and travel.
- Travel is reimbursed after the exchange under EU distance rules; participants pay any amount above the approved budget.
- Participants stay in shared rooms and receive vegetarian or vegan meals.
- Completion includes a Youthpass certificate.
Eligibility
- Applicants must be 18–26 and join a country group from Germany, France or Türkiye; the Germany route requires residence in Germany.
