EXPO+

Your Gateway to EU Programs

 

The E+XPO Hub is ICDET’s digital and on-site exhibition hall, created to make European programs and initiatives clear, engaging, and accessible to everyone.

​

It was born from our Fast Forward projects, where participants stepped into simulated Erasmus+ mobility environments to experience what international opportunities truly feel like.

 

Those events showed us that young people don’t just need information — they need experiences that help them see, feel, and understand what European programs are about.​

​​That spirit continues here. The Hub is both a permanent digital space and a platform for live exhibition events. Online, it brings together all European programs in one place, explained through videos, guides, stories, and interactive pavilions. On-site, it transforms into expo-style fairs and showcases, where visitors can walk through thematic zones, meet peers and experts, and immerse themselves in the Erasmus+ and ESC experience alongside other EU opportunities.

​

Every element of the Hub is created by our passengers and crew — young people, educators, volunteers, and partners — who lived these programs first-hand. Their voices, stories, and creativity ensure that Erasmus+, ESC, and other EU initiatives are not only presented but also translated into youth-friendly, understandable language.

​

The Hub is where complex EU structures become simple journeys. It is the place to explore opportunities, collect resources, hear real stories, and get inspired to take part.
