As the European Union elections approach, the SDSN is committed to engaging and mobilizing young Europeans to vote. In this spirit, and under the leadership of prof. Angelo Riccaboni, chair of SDSN Med, several SDSN Europe-based networks are joining forces to spotlight the remarkable strides made by the EU and its Member States in advancing sustainable development over the recent decades. The SDSN, in partnership with SDSN Europe, SDSN Mediterranean, SDSN Portugal, and SDSN Germany will host three webinars throughout April and May 2024.
Mobility is one of the keys for the European Higher Education Area, which stresses the importance of investing in human capital to boost economic development and internationalization. For this reason, the EU supports and reinforces mobility through the Erasmus Programme. Launched in 1987, it gave the possibility to 3,200 students from different European countries to embark upon this pioneering experience. Today more than twelve million participants have enjoyed the programme in its 37 years of life.
Hosted by SDSN Mediterranean, the webinar will feature a keynote speaker and a panel presenting inspiring examples of policies, projects, and initiatives that have had a positive impact on our lives and that would not have been there if it were not for the EU. By spotlighting tangible cases and successes, we seek to highlight the significance of active participation in European elections, illustrating how each vote contributes to shaping a resilient and enduring European Union.
