Geschiedenis

We are part of the Erasmus Generation. We consider the European Union as our common home. National boundaries are no more a limit but a gate to share our cultures and common values with other European citizens.

Students and young Europeans have long played as a spin-off in the process of European integration. Exchange programs such as Erasmus helped to develop a stronger feeling of participation inspiring a common European identity.

We embrace the key role of democratic principles, underlined in the Lisbon Treaty and enshrined in our political belief: democracy, freedom, equality, participation, sustainability and solidarity.
