THE VOICES OF ERASMUS+<br />

Haven?t you heard before about Erasmus+? Well, today is your lucky day because this information<br />

can really change your life! Actually, it is changing the life of so many young people around Europe<br />

and that is the aim of this program, to create opportunities for them. With it, you can study, work,<br />

volunteer, teach or train abroad in Europe and all over the world?and it is funded by the European<br />

Union!!! But let us introduce you some people that have already experienced what it is?<br />

Hristiyan Yaprakov ? Bulgaria "One of my friends called me some weeks ago and said that there is<br />

a vacant spot for a Youth Exchange project in Spain. He also told me that we were going on a<br />

journey almost for free. It was the combination of the words "Spain", "journey" and "free" what<br />

made me send an application form immediately. I got accepted. The next thing I know? I was<br />

drinking free beer on the plane on my way to Spain. The point of all these projects is to broaden<br />

the minds of young people, to make them multicultural in a way and to educate them on a<br />

particular topic. Our project was called "A better Europe for all" and the main topic was the<br />

immigration crisis in Europe. We were a group of around 45 people - 5 participants from 8<br />

different countries plus the organizers.
