Erasmus – from European solidarity to political weapon

Erasmus – from European solidarity to political weapon

Discussion from MCC Brussels

Venue: Press Club Brussels, Rue Froissart 95, Brussels 1000

Date and time: Thursday 1 June, 2023 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm 

Should students be made to pay the price for disagreements between the Hungarian government and the EU? Is not the ideal of Erasmus for cultural and educational exchange across national, geographical and cultural boundaries? Is there even a solid legal basis to the actions of the EU? Perhaps most importantly: are EU programmes like Erasmus being turned into political weapons, rather than engines of mutual understanding?
