Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges
Welcome to Stamily’s Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges—a supportive, European program for young people who stutter. Funded by the EU’s Erasmus+ initiative, these gatherings offer workshops, group activities, and cultural excursions that help participants share experiences, build self-confidence, and connect with peers who understand life with a stutter. Our aim is to celebrate individuality, nurture personal growth, and ensure every voice is heard. Join us to embrace your unique voice, make lasting friendships, and become part of our global community.
​
Target Group
Our Youth Exchanges bring together young people who stutter, ages 18 to 30. Leaders and kitchen staff may be older but share the same experience of stuttering, ensuring a supportive and understanding community. We value collaboration and fun—most behind-the-scenes work is done by former participants—making each exchange truly by and for people who stutter.
