Erasmus citizens-reporters open to the European civil society

The project "Citizen-reporter" puts a number of students in the spotlight. In the spirit of a true European ambassador, the Erasmus student becomes a citizen-reporter. In every city where the Erasmus students live and study, they go off to discover people, projects and various actions constructing European society. These actions are beneficiary of political support and/or from European programmes throughout multiple sectors. The students are our eyes and ears. Indeed, it is they who guide us into their personal perception of Europe.

One of them will make you discover MILSET Europe, first visiting a AMD club in Prague then the Belgian Expo-Sciences in Brussels.

150 000. That is the amount of Erasmus students that every year travel to another European country. They often have the feeling of being "at home" anywhere in Europe.

Turned towards civil society they embrace values of openness and dialogue. The Erasmus students takes off to meet with a society that they know poorly or wrongly, they give us a unique outlook - sometimes naive - on the environment in which they evolve.

Through the door that these students enter, they encounter the same attitudes with askance, apprehension and prejudice that we all can live or hold on to, sometimes unconsciously, towards people and realities that we know poorly. These young students are "border crossers" both literally and symbolically. They invite us to render our prejudice, to change our views and mentalities in order to give way to novelties and to enrichment thanks to their personal experience.
