Students without borders

22-03-2011

Some of them go abroad to live independently or to improve their knowledge, others to establish contacts and to gain new friends. Most of them end up having the greatest experience of their life.

Thousands of students every year join the EU-funded Erasmus Mundus programme, one of the most effi cient tools Europe has created to bring up a new generation of youth, free from stereotypes and prejudice. If Erasmus Mundus supports students, Tempus promotes transfer of expertise between universities. Both programmes are powerful instruments to strengthen education and to promote European values and ideals throughout the world.
 
“I learned to live independently, to communicate freely and openly, I gained new friends and new knowledge: it was the greatest experience of my life”. Shushanik Khachatryan was doing her bachelor studies at the Armenian State University of Economics, when she was presented with the opportunity to continue her studies in Thessaloniki, Greece. She accepted it. And the 10 months she spent in Europe thanks to the EU-supported Erasmus Mundus project, have changed her life forever.
