Erasmus students gather to remember the best years of their lives

A group of Erasmus students gather to mark the 25th anniversary of the student exchange program of the European Union, to analyze the experience that qualify as the best year of their lives. With youth jobless and practically doomed to leave the country to seek work, mobility programs created by universities become more effective, especially where unemployment rates are higher.

Studying or working abroad is already another career. Anyone who has traveled knows. Erasmus students tell their experiences abroad in next edition of the Conference of the European Union, organized by the Society for the Development of Marchena -Sevilla-, Sodemar, in what many are calling it the best year of their lives.


Wito Carmona Vargas, studied economics in Naples two years ago. "Living in a country other than one year gives you experience and open mind and you relate to people around the world" and calls it "a unique opportunity that exists only once in life."


Studying physical education in Athens, the birthplace of the sport and the Olympic Games is not a bad idea. It's what made Francisco Javier Cortés Pazos, several years ago. Francisco is very clear. "Traveling abroad opens your mind, travel abroad, broadens your mind".


A Erasmus is a "unique opportunity presented to you in life to live outside, learning a language, formed you, meet people from around the world," he says. This year, sharing an apartment with two girls, one Polish and one French, have learned to "cook, clean, iron, and live with people all over the world. (...). "It's the best year of my life."
