53 ERASMUS+ FILIPINO SCHOLARS TO STUDY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
As a mobility and scholarship programme, Erasmus+ is structured to allow students to pursue their studies in more than one EU member state, giving them the opportunity to benefit from the academic expertise and culture of more than one university.
Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of the European Union Delegation to the Philippines, Mr Frederic Grillet, congratulated the Erasmus+ students and urged them to become ambassadors of goodwill and agents of change to help strengthen the partnership between the EU and the Philippines. He also encouraged the Erasmus+ scholars to use their experience for the benefit of the Philippines after they finish their programme in the EU.
This year’s send-off ceremony was organised by the Delegation in collaboration with Campus Erasmus, comprised of Erasmus+ alumni from the Philippines.
The Erasmus+ programme gives life-changing opportunities for Filipino students to experience the European culture, learning European languages and being integrated into European society for one to two years. It is among the leading international academic mobility programmes in the world, and students from the Philippines have benefited considerably from the programme. The Erasmus+ (formerly called the Erasmus Mundus Programme) promotes the EU as a centre of excellence in learning and making student mobility a reality for EU and non-EU citizens alike.
