This week, we are celebrating the birthday of Erasmus! 🎉
Since its launch, Erasmus+ has empowered millions to learn, train, teach, volunteer, and grow across Europe and beyond. 🌍✨
What began as a higher education exchange has become a truly inclusive programme, offering opportunities for people of all ages in every education and training sector.
It brings people together, enriches communities, and changes lives.
Where will you go on Erasmus+?
While initially Erasmus was only about university exchanges, as of 2014 the programme goes far beyond this (and that is why it is now called “Erasmus+”).
Erasmus+ has supported millions of people, helping them learn, train, teach, volunteer, and grow across Europe and beyond.
During this time, it’s evolved beyond its first focus on higher education. Now it offers opportunities at any age, in every education sector, whether you’re learning, working or training.
Now on the programme’s 38th anniversary, it’s a good time to highlight the diversity and impact of Erasmus+. With participants from 195 countries, the programme is reaching deeper into communities and sectors — and changing lives.
