The Erasmus Program is continually growing. Over 270.000 European students participate in it each year, and by 2020 on out of five EU students should go abroad every year.
But why is the Erasmus program growing so significantly? And what does it mean for the European society?
In our second episode we made sure to go around Europe and see how the Erasmus Program is affecting Europe. Our first trip led us to Warsaw, Poland, to have a look at how participating students perceive the Erasmus program, and to catch their voices and opinions. Afterwards, we then went all the way to Oslo, Norway, to have a report with an Erasmus student who explains to us how the program helps him personally and how it affects his life. Also the European Commission is included of course, with Ms Debais-Sainton, who is Head of Sector Erasmus+ Higher Education, telling us about the success of the Erasmus Program and why it is so important for Europe. Last but not least, we conclude our trip with a visit at Guild TV in Birmingham in the United Kingdom. They interviewed Professor Stefan Wolf from the Birmingham University who explains to us how the Erasmus has benefited his life and how it more generally leads to a European togetherness.
