The Erasmus+ programme aims to help generations of Europeans to become active citizens, with the skills, knowledge and experience to tackle the challenges facing our society, both now and in the years to come.
These challenges include rising unemployment, climate change, economic and post-conflict migration, digitalisation, globalisation, physical inactivity and the multilingual structure of Europe’s united but diverse nations.
Unfortunately, the Erasmus+ programme remains unknown. People tend to think “Erasmus” is the name given to a year abroad when in university. It is important to spread awareness on these opportunities and help young people participate, especially from rural areas.
