#ErasmusDays 2024: fostering collaboration and embracing diversity
The #ErasmusDays are an international celebration of the Erasmus+ programme, taking place from 14 to 19 October 2024.
During these days, everyone is invited to organise or participate in events that celebrate the projects and opportunities proposed by Erasmus+. Open to students, teachers, trainers, professionals, and all citizens, the #ErasmusDays promote the numerous benefits that result from the programme. Throughout the week, both digital and physical events will take place, ranging from seminars, multilingual sessions, photo exhibitions, and conferences, to social media challenges, offering a unique chance to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and learn about different cultures. This year, the focus is on sports, inspired by the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris.
Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Since its start in 1987, over 15 million people have taken part in Erasmus+ and its predecessors. With an estimated budget of €26.2 billion, the 2021-2027 programme places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people's participation in democratic life. Through mobility exchanges and cooperation projects, Erasmus+ offers opportunities for millions of students, teachers, volunteers, and professionals to gain international experience, develop new skills, and broaden their cultural horizons. It not only fosters personal and professional development but also strengthens European identity by promoting unity through diversity.
