Erasmus - one of the EU’s greatest success stories 🇪🇺

Opening doors for millions of Irish students to learn, travel, discover new cultures and broaden their horizons.

Today, the Parliament is debating the Commission’s proposal for the 2028–2034 Erasmus+ programme, with a vote scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday.

The proposed budget of €40.8 billion represents a substantial increase on the previous programme and has the potential to give even more young people the opportunity to benefit from this life-changing experience.

As a parent whose own children have taken part in Erasmus, I have seen first-hand the difference it can make.

Since its launch in 1987, 16.7 million Europeans have participated in Erasmus+. That is 16.7 million people whose lives have been enriched by the opportunity to study, work and experience life in another country.

It means Irish students can travel to Bordeaux and taste its beautiful wines, walk the Camino in Spain, witness the Northern Lights in Finland, explore the beautiful towns of Tuscany or relax in Hungary’s famous thermal baths.

These experiences complement academic learning, broaden perspectives and create friendships and connections that can last a lifetime.

My own political group @reneweurope has worked hard to ensure that higher education and student exchanges remain at the heart of Erasmus+.

Led by my colleague MEP @laurencefarreng , Renew Europe has also championed European Universities Alliances and strengthened cooperation between universities and support the development of a Joint European Degree.

My groups ambition is clear: an Erasmus+ programme that is properly funded, accessible to more people and capable of expanding opportunities, while protecting the mobility and cooperation that have made it such a remarkable European success.

We will continue to push for a programme that delivers real opportunities for the next generation.

Because Erasmus+ is about more than crossing borders.

It is about breaking down barriers, bringing Europeans closer together and investing in a generation that understands, values and celebrates our diversity.

Thrilling. Fulfilling. Exhausting. Uncertain. Revolutionary.

Living abroad is astonishing and being young and working with young people is certainly an act that leaves its mark on the world🌎

Erasmus+ never stops to amaze.
First, you discover that it is way more than just a student mobility program. So, you decide to set off on your first Youth Exchange – though you don’t really know what it is. Then, you wonder how many other opportunities are out there that you haven’t yet discovered. That’s why you apply for a Training Course, then another, and then you discover the European Solidarity Corps but wonder whether it’s really for you.

Nobody tells you how difficult it is to make it, but you’ll find out that it is a job that pays off not just once a month, but 365 days a year.

In the end, you’ll understand that living abroad is also leaving behind the fears while moving on a pathway to belonging🩷

Happy birthday, ESN! 🎂💙 @esn_int
The Erasmus Student Network was founded on 16 October 1989 in Utrecht, where the first ESN section was created, after 32 former Erasmus students met in Ghent and named what was missing: peer-to-peer support. Since then it has grown into the largest student organisation in Europe.

Behind every great exchange experience are people: volunteers who welcome you, connect you, and help you feel at home.

Between Voices, a project that is very important to me, began with my own Erasmus experience. 🎧

Next up: I sit down with @pandorapados and @blandinecrr to talk about their Erasmus experience, what it’s really like to live it from the inside. Check the link in bio. 💙

Today is World Mental Health Day. 🧠
Take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you really doing?
Mobility can be exciting, but it can also bring new pressures, unfamiliar environments and moments of loneliness or stress.
That’s why the Mobile Minds in Motion project is working to make mental health a more visible and supported part of the mobility experience.
