About CYCLOS

CYCLOS is an ERASMUS+ KA220-YOU Cooperation Partnership project that brings together organizations from France, Romania, Austria, and Greece to promote the social inclusion of disadvantaged young people through cycling.

Project Background

CYCLOS (Youth Cycling for Inclusion) is an ERASMUS+ KA220-YOU Cooperation Partnership that brings together four organizations from France, Romania, Austria, and Greece. The project addresses a critical challenge: many disadvantaged young people face barriers to employment and social integration, with mobility being a significant obstacle.

By focusing on cycling as a tool for inclusion, CYCLOS aims to help these young people overcome mobility barriers, develop practical skills, build confidence, and become more autonomous. At the same time, the project promotes environmental awareness and sustainable transportation practices.

The project will develop educational materials, organize practical cycling sessions, create a digital learning platform, and provide training for youth workers across the partner countries.
