Social Erasmus

Each and every one of us who has lived the Erasmus experience knows that ERASMUS is all about having fun, visiting new places, making new friends, meeting people from all over Europe, getting to know and comprehend different and very unique cultures and civilizations.

 

But ERASMUS can be even more than that. It can bring people and cultures together by familiarizing the Erasmus students with the local society , its problems, and its needs in a humanitarian and selfless way. And one way to achieve this is the Social Erasmus Project.

 

Social Erasmus is a project of Erasmus Student Network International, it has its origins in Poland(2008), and its main idea is the very enrichment of society through international students. Social Erasmus Project includes actions in three levels: local, national and international.

Its actions are focused on three main areas: Education, Environment, Charity.

 

The goal of this project is to give the opportunity to the exchange students to help local communities in several ways while at the same time they gain experiences, knowledge, openness and last but not least love for Europe!

 

ESN Greece has created a team for the Social Erasmus project, composed of members of some Greek ESN sections; ESN KAPA Athens is of them. Through our Social Erasmus activities, we do our best to bring the ERASMUS students in Athens closer to the Greek society and the Greek reality, always following the motto of the project: 

 

‘Reach higher! Go further! Go Social!’
