Open Horizon (Öppna Horisonter) is a Swedish non-profit association working with the Erasmus+ programme. We design, coordinate, and implement youth exchange projects with a strong focus on quality, inclusion, and safeguarding.
Our work is grounded in clear project structures, responsible governance, and practical experience from youth work, care contexts, and organisational coordination. We collaborate with partner organisations across Europe and support the full lifecycle of Erasmus+ Youth Exchange projects.
Open Horizon (Öppna Horisonter) is an independent, non-profit association registered in Sweden. We operate within the Erasmus+ framework and focus on international youth projects that require strong structure, clear roles, and a high level of responsibility.
The association was formed to meet a recurring need observed in youth and care-adjacent contexts: Erasmus+ projects that combine international learning with realistic support structures and professional project management.
Open Horizon acts as a project organiser, coordinator, or implementation partner, depending on the collaboration model.
All projects are implemented only after formal approval and grant agreements with the relevant National Agency.
We apply a structured and transparent approach to Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges.
