Publisher Description: This book takes an in-depth look at the European Commission's Erasmus programme. In its current Erasmus+ format, the programme supports international exchange visits among students, trainees, volunteers and academic members of staff in order to enhance employability and encourage intercultural understanding. With Erasmus having recently celebrated its 30th anniversary this is an opportune moment at which to look at some of the successes of the programme, most prominently the undergraduate exchange programme, and other areas in which development is on-going, including the incorporation of short duration mobility projects focused on specific social issues. Through integrating different perspectives from authors in different European countries, all of whom have knowledge regarding different aspects of Erasmus, we are able to illustrate how different aspects of the initiative function, providing insight into the challenges facing the programme as it moves into its fourth decade |
