Erasmus+ Promotion
Since our target group is the youth of the town and one of our main objectives is their development, we had to share with them what Erasmus + is and why is so important. With the Erasmus+ program youngsters from all over Europe have the chance to live abroad while working or studying so is a way to expand your knowledge, to travel to new and exciting places, to meet people from different countries and to immerse yourself in another culture.
For all these reasons we, as volunteers of the program, couldn’t leave Bailesti without making sure that the high school students of the town are aware of the opportunities that they have to participate in the several programs of Erasmus+. So, we went to the high schools and presented to the students all they can learn in a couple of weeks with a youth exchange, the wide variety of studies abroad that they can do with the Erasmus Scholarship and of course all the benefits, personally and professionally, of becoming a volunteer in the European Solidarity Corps.

It has been a really good time sharing and discussing with them about all the chances that they have at range with this program and the facilitation that the EU provides to its participants. We talked with them about the experience of some of our volunteers who had participated before in some of Erasmus+ programs and about our experience in the European Solidarity Corps.
During the project we’ve tried to show to the students the benefits in participating in any of Erasmus+ programs. We have made presentations in the high schools that we work with explaining the opportunities of Erasmus scholarships for studying abroad, the youth Exchange program and the European Solidarity Corps.
Through these activities we hope to have helped them in their development and we wish the best to all of them in their travels with the Erasmus+ program.
