Finding opportunities abroad

Some events on INVOLVO take place in another country but are open to people applying from yours — youth exchanges, training courses and similar programs that bring participants in from elsewhere.

INVOLVO calls this the Mobility filter.

Despite the name, it has nothing to do with physical accessibility or getting around a venue. It means the event is open to people traveling from where you are.

How it works

When an organizer sets up this kind of event, they say which countries and cities people may apply from. The Mobility filter shows you the events whose list includes your place.

So the question it answers is not “what is happening near me?” but “what is happening elsewhere that I could actually apply to?”

Using it

Turn on Mobility, and set your country and city if you have not already. You can combine it with topics and dates like any other filter — see Filters.

If you set no place at all, you will see mobility events generally, rather than the ones matched to you.

Before you commit to anything

These events involve travel, which means cost, dates and paperwork that matter more than usual. Whether accommodation or travel is covered, and what the deadlines really are, is the organizer’s information, not INVOLVO’s. Check the event page for how to reach them, and see How event information on INVOLVO works for why that matters most on events an organization did not post itself.
