#ReimaginingErasmusExperience

A campaign graphic with the quote “I wanted to go. I just couldn’t afford to go.” Below, it states “More than 40% of students from low-income families report insufficient money to cover the cost of living abroad.” The message “Mobility shouldn’t be a privilege” appears at the bottom. On the right, a student looks down at their laptop with a worried expression. Above, a circular image shows euro banknotes. The background features colourful abstract shapes and the DiEM and European Union logos.

For many students, the Erasmus+ dream ends before it starts due to housing, travel, insurance, and lost income. Advance payments, clear info, & fair mobility options can change this.
