Eurokayak Experience is an association of managers specializing in representing and supporting sports clubs throughout the process of applying for and implementing Erasmus+ grants. Our mission is to open doors to new international opportunities, enabling clubs to participate in cultural and sports exchanges that enrich both young athletes and the communities they belong to.

Our innovative European youth exchange project connects kayak polo clubs from different countries, fostering camaraderie, cultural exchange, and international collaboration. We handle every aspect of the Erasmus+ application and implementation process, ensuring that clubs can focus on what truly matters: developing their athletes and enjoying the sport.

This initiative, funded by Erasmus+, ensures that these exchanges are entirely free for clubs and participants. Travel, accommodation, and activities are fully covered by European funding, removing any financial barriers and allowing everyone to fully enjoy this unique experience.

At Eurokayak Experience, we are also committed to building a broad network of clubs across Europe, promoting annual exchanges where participants can experience kayak polo throughout the continent. Our structured and proven approach guarantees the success of each project, fostering collaboration and growth among the clubs involved.

The EUKE project is aimed at kayak polo clubs or clubs with a kayak polo section located in European Union countries.

EUKE organises biannual projects between three clubs, with a preparation and drafting period that will depend on the complexity and submission deadlines to the EU. Once the project is approved, in the first year, each club will host a visit from another club and travel once. In the second year, they will host a visit from the third club and travel to the remaining one. At the end of this two-year cycle, the process begins again for two more years with different clubs.

EUKE will be responsible for selecting the three participating clubs from across the network for each project, with the aim of increasing the value of each exchange and adding an element of intrigue for the participants. During the project preparation discussions, we will seek out clubs with similar interests. The destinations will be revealed once the project is approved by the EU.

Trip Structure

The trips will last one week, with a similar structure of activities for all participants. The trips are organized over 7 days, following the same pattern to ensure that both host venues and travelers are familiar with the organization. Activities are divided into cultural experiences, which include visits to cities or points of interest, and sports activities that can encompass various sports or physical activities like hiking and kayaking. Additionally, there will be talks of interest that align with the project’s objectives.

Funding Structure

The cost of the trip is primarily covered by ERASMUS+ grant, which include funding for participants’ flights, accommodation, daily meals, transport, and scheduled activities. The EUKE team strives to ensure that the expenses for travellers are virtually zero, eliminating any additional costs for the clubs. Notably, EUKE’s fees are fully encompassed within the European funding, guaranteeing that clubs do not incur any extra expenses.

Participants for Travel

Each participating club will select between 8 and 10 members to take part in the annual activities. The EUKE exchange network covers programmes for young people aged between 13 and 30. Efforts will be made to tailor the activities to the ages of the participants
