Erasmus+ celebrates 35 years since its foundation. How many projects were implemented in Moldova?

In 2022, Erasmus+ — the European Union’s program for education, training, youth and sport, celebrated its 35th anniversary. Since 1987, the Erasmus+ program has supported the most ambitious and successful projects based on the free spirit of the European Union. Thus, more than 12 million beneficiaries participated in academic and youth exchanges, in projects to modernize and internationalize education around the world.

On the occasion of this anniversary and in the context of the European Year of Youth, the Erasmus+ National Office together with the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova and the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova organized a festive event, which brought together the beneficiaries of the Erasmus+ program from Moldova: students, young people, academics, but also representatives of ministries and NGOs in the field of youth and education.

Thus, the event aimed to become a platform for promoting the Erasmus+ program in the Republic of Moldova, the voice of young people, a networking platform for establishing new partnerships within Erasmus+ projects.

The event took place on October 12, and its program was made up of two parts: the first, at the Class of the Future (State Pedagogical University “Ion Creangă”) – dedicated to inspirational discussions with the beneficiaries of the Erasmus+ Program from Moldova (students, young people, academics ) and the fair of Erasmus+ projects, and the second one, at the Organ Hall – was the first classical music concert performed by Erasmus+ students from the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts.
