Hello everybody! We are Eunited Team and today we are
going to talk about Erasmus.
Maybe you haven’t Heard about it before, so we will
explain what it is.
“Erasmus is the short name of “European Region Action
Scheme for the Mobility of University Students.” It’s a educational programme
that helps student’s academic mobility inside the European Union.
It was created in 1987 by a student’s asociation
called AEGEE Europe, founded by Franck Biancheri. The programme was finally
integrated in 1995. It’s directed to higher education, and it’s objective is to
improvethe quality of it’s students and also fortify the coperation between
universities of Europe. The acronym was created base don the latin name of the
phylosopher Erasmo of Róterdam. (1465-1536)
This programme has three components:
All the Erasmus students used to receive from the
European Union a bursary of 110 euros per month, ore ven 185 euros, depending
on the economic situation of the student (at national level.) This changed in
October 2013, and now you only receive this money if you were beneficiary of a
grant from the Ministry in the previous year. Because of that, a lot os
students had to return to Spain because the were unable top ay for their
studies.
Finally, some autonomous comunities grant aids
depending of the región. All in all, an Erasmus student can collect between 200
and 800 euros per month, depending on their situation.
This program helps
not only the learning and understanding of the culture of the other country, but
also the sense of community of the student. This great experience is considered
as a time of learning and promotes social skills. It helps increase the
awareness of the European Union among Young people. Min source: http://www.oapee.es/oapee/inicio/pap/erasmus.html
