About Us

At Riders of the Storm, we believe in the power of unity, learning, and personal growth. Founded in 2010 and officially registered as an NGO in Budapest in 2022, our mission is to create a supportive environment where young people can develop their skills, build meaningful connections, and actively contribute to their communities. We aim to integrate youth into the European Union’s systems and encourage them to become responsible, engaged citizens.

At Riders of the Storm, we strongly believe in the power of Erasmus+ to transform lives, foster learning, and build a more inclusive and connected world. As an organization dedicated to youth development, lifelong learning, and social awareness, we actively participate in Erasmus+ programs to provide young people and professionals with unique opportunities to grow, gain international experience, and develop essential skills.

Through our participation in youth exchanges, training courses, and mobility projects, we have engaged in initiatives addressing social inclusion, entrepreneurship, digital well-being, environmental sustainability, and many other critical topics. Our projects, such as Noise Map and Developments from the World, reflect our commitment to raising awareness, building competencies, and encouraging active citizenship among youth across Europe.

By being part of the Erasmus+ network, we not only contribute to the empowerment of young people but also expand our own capacity as an NGO. We collaborate with partners from different countries, exchange best practices, and bring innovative methods into our local and international work. As we continue to grow, our aim is to strengthen our involvement in Erasmus+, ensuring that more individuals benefit from these life-changing experiences.

Erasmus+ is more than just a program for us—it is a bridge to new opportunities, friendships, and a brighter future for all.
