One of the most important projects to build the European Union. Opening minds of European young students to live in a common project without borders and with a shared future. More culture for a better Europe. More #Erasmus for a better European Project

The best European programme ever! I studied one year in Bologna, a second one in Dundee, such an incredible chance to live and feel Europe at the heart. Different countries, different languages, different cultures. Same values, common future. #Erasmus forever.

Thankfully to my #Erasmus I changed my mind and perspective of life. I got the necessity to live in a different country and learn different cultures.

This project has been often criticised for being a way to make a modern kasta. Actually it is true as the Erasmus generation is mainly made by mid-upper classes students and a good part of the students are excluded. The data clearly shows that this experience in many cases is not relevant for the future career of the students itself. Instead the EU could invest these money in making Universities free in all EU countries with unified curricula and let people move around them with more incentives and not only for 3/6 or 12 months.

a bit of a cost of living accesibility problem. But we don't know how systemic discrimination may look like or how "aligned" are the university curriculums and what amount of pressure is placed on a student to "reconcile" this slight problem, with what cognitive load, in what time frame. Game those exams! Who cares what you're left with after for the job market and who's "paying" for that capability problem, once you parachute yourself in a "leadership" position. Not an EU problem only. We also thank the impressive cultures of student organisations. We don't know where certain "prestigious" practices are learned, in what "prestigious" groups and networks. The CV "Bachelors", Masters" and "MBA" requirements: such abstract labels, no questions around the curriculum, how up to date it is with the market practices or what curriculum is covered (such as Civil law, european law, commercial law etc) It's not like employees don't go on a job market and should know their rights or what a contract represents. - Obviously this is only for "higher" education. Everyone else should "trust" the system and hope "leaders" have their best interest. The legacy educational system which keeps on giving. What's workplace bullying?
