ANT Network

About ANT Network

We are a pan-European network of youth organisations united by a shared vision: high-quality, impactful Erasmus+ mobility for every young person.

Our history

How we started

ANT Network (ggs.ngo) was founded in 2015 by five youth organisations from Romania, Italy, Turkey, the Netherlands, and Germany. Frustrated by the complexity of applying for Erasmus+ projects alone, they decided to pool resources, expertise, and contacts to create a sustainable mobility partnership.

Over the years, the network has grown to include organisations from more than five countries, and has facilitated over 300 youth mobilities through youth exchanges, training courses, and EVS/ESC volunteering placements.

What we stand for

🌍

Intercultural dialogue

We believe meeting people from different backgrounds transforms young people’s worldview and builds lasting European friendships.

📚

Non-formal education

All our projects use experiential, non-formal learning methods — workshops, simulations, outdoor activities, and peer-to-peer learning.

🤝

Inclusion

We actively prioritise young people with fewer opportunities, ensuring Erasmus+ is accessible to those who need it most.
