The ESNsurvey is a Europe-wide research project covering different topics concerning mobility and education. It is the largest project of its kind, carried out solely by volunteers. Every two years since its inception in 2005, the ESN volunteers develop an online questionnaire and disseminate it among students at European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to collect information about students’ experiences during their exchange period abroad. The project involves collaboration with associations, students, teachers, academics, and various European institutions.

Council Recomendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability

# data[].attributes.subject
Council Recomendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On 16 June 2022, the Council of the European Union (EU) adopted a Recommendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability . The Recommendation seeks to support the development, implementation and recognition of micro-credentials across institutions, businesses, sectors and borders.

An effective culture of lifelong learning is key to ensuring that everyone has the knowledge, skills and competences they need to thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Micro-credentials certify the learning outcomes of short-term learning experiences, for example a short course or training. They offer a flexible, targeted way to help people develop the knowledge, skills and competences they need for their personal and professional development.

Shorter forms of learning opportunities than traditional qualifications, such as micro-credentials, are being developed rapidly across Europe and around the world. These opportunities are made available by a wide variety of public and private providers in response to the demand for more flexible, learner-centred forms of education and training. They also have the potential to offer education and training opportunities to a wider range of learners, including disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.

However, without common standards ensuring their quality, transparency, cross-border comparability, recognition and portability, micro-credentials cannot reach their full potential.

Building trust and flexibility

The Council Recommendation aims to

enable individuals to acquire, update and improve the knowledge, skills and competences they need to thrive in an evolving labour market and society, to benefit fully from a socially fair recovery and just transitions to the green and digital economy and to be better equipped to deal with current and future challenges

support the preparedness of micro-credential providers to enhance the quality, transparency and flexibility of their learning offer to empower individuals to forge personalised learning and career pathways

foster inclusiveness, access and equal opportunities , and contribute to the achievement of resilience, social fairness and prosperity for all, in a context of demographic change and throughout all phases of economic cycles

The Recommendation provides building blocks including a definition, standard elements for describing micro-credentials, and principles for designing and issuing micro-credentials.

As a result, micro-credentials can be developed, used and compared in a coherent way among Member States, stakeholders and different providers (from education and training institutions to private companies) across different sectors, fields and borders. It will support the building of trust in micro-credentials across Europe.

The Recommendation will support the development and uptake of high-quality and transparent micro-credentials and outlines key areas for action in this field in education and training and labour markets policies. This will enable people to learn new skills in a tailored way, inclusive for all.

The European approach to micro-credentials is a key component of the Commission's vision to achieve a European Education Area by 2025.

Commission support for micro-credentials ecosystems

The Commission will support the implementation of the Recommendation by

fostering dialogue on how to use and adapt existing EU tools and services to support the development of micro-credentials by all types of providers

supporting the sharing of information and promoting best practices

exploring how the Europass platform could support the technical implementation of the Recommendation

providing funding support through the Erasmus+ programme

Background

The Recommendation is based on a put forward by the Commission on 10 December 2021, building on a wide consultation and evidence-gathering exercises. The Recommendation on a European approach to micro-credentials was adopted alongside another proposal on individual learning accounts on 16 June 2022.

Both proposals were part of the twelve flagship actions announced in the European Skills Agenda (July 2020).

Micro-credentials also feature in the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan (March 2021) and the (September 2020). Commission Communication on achieving the European Education Area by 2025

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Just a few days before the EU elections in 2024, it's important to reflect on the achievements of one of the European Union's most successful initiatives, the Erasmus+ programme.

With this, the Erasmus Student Network has elaborated " Participation in Learning Mobility as a Driving Force to Change the European Union," a breakout report of the XV ESNsurvey. This report aims to determine whether participation in international mobility, particularly through the Erasmus+ programme, is a decisive factor in making students more engaged in society and more likely to participate in the upcoming EU elections. Additionally, this report gathers information about their perspectives on the priorities for the next mandate of the European Institutions and compares these findings with other relevant sources, such as the Eurobarometer.

Through this report, you will analyse the following key findings:

Before and After Mobility - Erasmus+ Students' Citizenship

Voting Intention in the EU Elections

Importance of EU Policies

The conclusions drawn from this report indicate that participation in international mobility programmes, such as Erasmus+, enhances the sense of the European Union citizenship, as well as the broader perception of citizenship at the city, European, and global levels.

Even one year before the elections, a vast majority of mobility participants eligible to vote in the EU elections expressed interest in exercising their voting rights. This is a positive indication of young people's engagement in the upcoming elections.

Regarding the priorities for Parliamentary candidates and the next Commission, the participants highlighted the importance of exchange opportunities, digital transformation, the role of Europe in the world, and freedom of movement.

ESNsurvey is a European-wide research project implemented by the Erasmus Student Network, covering different topics related to international student mobility. Being one of the biggest student-led initiatives of its kind, it has inspired ESN's international student representation and advocacy efforts to improve the access, experience, and impact of mobility since its first implementation in 2005.

Student mobility doesn't just happen overnight; it begins with careful preparation. Even before you pack your bags, there's a crucial phase to navigate - the preparation phase.

Data from the XV ESNsurvey highlight the importance of pre-departure support measures for students on their path to mobility. Notably, students emphasise that information about available financial support (82%), programmes (66%), and the application process (66%) are crucial aspects of the pre-departure support they receive. Additionally, the results of the ESNsurvey it's emphasised the need for this key information to be centralised and available in a digital format, making it easier to access.

ESN, dedicated to supporting student mobility and promoting internationalisation at home, manages several online portals designed to assist students right from the start of their mobility journey. These portals have been developed by ESN over its 35 years of existence, and they are continuously updated based on feedback from students and our stakeholders.

From this perspective, this article aims to explore some of the platforms ESN offers to support international students throughout their mobility journey, from the initial stages of preparation right through to the end.

Erasmus Generation Portal

The Erasmus Generation Portal is the ultimate resource hub for navigating mobility opportunities. It's designed to cater specifically to the student's needs, providing tools and information to support the mobility journey, whether it involves studying at a university abroad or participating in an internship in another country.
Within the portal, students will discover comprehensive insights into different countries and programs, empowering them to make well-informed decisions about their mobility.
The portal offers a collection of testimonials shared by students who have already completed their experience. Additionally, students can take advantage of the Erasmus+ Grant Simulator tool, which allows them to simulate their Erasmus+ Grant based on their home country, desired destination, and preferred duration of stay.
Furthermore, for students eager for more travel-related content, the Erasmus Generation Blog section provides a variety of engaging articles and thought-provoking discussions. From practical travel tips to explorations of global citizenship, the blog serves as a platform for dialogue and connection for every young person interested in mobility.
From practical travel tips to discussions on global citizenship, the blog serves as a platform for dialogue and connection for every young person interested in mobility.
It's important to note that following the student recommendations of wanting centralised information, the ESN team is currently working on centralising all the platforms for international students in the Erasmus Generation Portal to make access easier and better cater to their needs

ESNcard.org

ESNcard.org is the platform designed to provide support and benefits to the owners of an ESNcard, the official Erasmus Student Network membership card. Designed to support international students and trainees, the ESNcard provides affordable access to a wide range of opportunities throughout the period abroad. By joining one of the +500 ESN local sections across Europe and beyond, holders of an ESNcard are granted access to a variety of local, national and international events organised by ESN sections and partners across different cities and countries. From discounts on housing, sports, and food to entertainment venues across Europe, the ESNcard ensures effective budget management while maximising the experience.

ErasmusJobs

Erasmusjobs is a platform designed to connect students and recent graduates who participated in a mobility programme with job opportunities. It functions as a centralised hub where employers can post their vacancies, providing detailed information about the positions available. On the other hand, individuals can easily search for opportunities that match their interests and qualifications, simplifying the application process.
One of the platform's key features is its emphasis on safety and transparency. Erasmusjobs verifies all employers to ensure a secure environment for job seekers. Additionally, it operates on a free-of-charge basis, making it accessible to all users.

Green Erasmus

The Green Erasmus Portal, developed by the Green Erasmus project, serves as a valuable resource for students seeking concrete information on how to adopt sustainable practices before, during, and after their Erasmus experience. While certain actions may be widely recognised, other aspects are often overlooked, and students may struggle to understand how to make their Erasmus exchanges more environmentally friendly. By utilising the portal, students can access a wealth of tips, tricks, and resources to help them act sustainably. Additionally, they can find useful information on how to get involved in sustainability initiatives both locally and globally.

ErasmusIntern.org

Internships under the Erasmus+ scheme are still not so well-known among youth, and such mobility type is less common compared to mobility for studies. The biggest challenge of this scheme is the fact that students and graduates need to find an employer themselves. This can be tricky, not knowing where to start looking for the offer or how to apply, and it is scary in the world of scams. ESN's flagship portal Erasmusintern.org, is a place where employers meet interns. It's simple - employers put their internship offers including all details about working hours, conditions, language, and working hours. and young people create an account to search and apply for the chosen offer. It is also worth mentioning that the portal is free of charge, and the employers are constantly being verified.

ErasmusIntern.org promotes internship mobility among youth, providing a direct and safe job market.

InclusiveMobility.eu

Erasmus+ must be for all. Yet, only a very limited number of students with disabilities participated in the programme. Getting out of the comfort zone and preparing for mobility might be more challenging. To meet those extra needs, ESN has created InclusiveMobility.eu. This portal is an information hub about inclusion and support services offered by higher education institutions, national agencies and ministries for education to international students. It also features an interactive map of higher education institutions and their accessibility level. A tab with personal testimonials of those who have already gone on mobility against all odds can become an inspiration and reassurance that mobility is indeed for everyone. InclusiveMobility.eu is also a place for higher education employees to find extra resources and self-assessment tools.

As ESN, we hope these platforms will enhance the student experience when going abroad. We strive to be innovative and at the forefront of this process, and we are always open to feedback from students and our partners.

If you wish to share your experience, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] .

As the European Commission announced the results of the 2024 Erasmus+ call for the European Universities initiative, the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) stands at the forefront, ready to embrace the newly approved 14 European University Alliances.

ESN is thrilled to see one of the key milestones of the European Strategy for Universities achieved, with 64 alliances representing more than 500 universities. Additionally, as stated in the communication by the European Commission, we are pleased with the diversity set by the alliances, as we believe mobility must be a reality for all. The European University Alliances encompass 35 countries, including all EU Member States, as well as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Türkiye, and 400 higher education institutions from Ukraine as associated partners.

We also welcome the contributions of more than 2,200 associated partners, of which ESN is proud to be a part, contributing daily to the initiative. In the future, we hope that more funding mechanisms can be explored for the associated partners.

ESN would like to extend special congratulations to the PIONEER and HEROES University Alliances, which we have supported throughout their application process. We look forward to the next steps in these exciting collaborations. Additionally, we would like to congratulate the SUNRISE University Alliance, particularly the Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM), on the new opportunities ahead. We are especially thrilled as UNIVPM will be the host for the Erasmus Generation Meeting Ancona 2025, ESN's flagship event.

Furthermore, ESN would like to congratulate the FOR-EU4All, the approved European Universities Community of Practice coordinated by the ECIU Alliance, to which ESN will contribute as an associate partner. Alongside the alliances, the Community of Practice offers a platform for sharing best practices, fostering innovation, and building growth within the higher education sector. ESN recognises the value of this community in increasing student engagement, encouraging civic participation, and ensuring that the projects and strategies established have a long-term impact.

The European Universities Initiative has been a beacon of innovation and collaboration, bringing together institutions and students from across the continent to foster a sense of unity and shared purpose. ESN has been an active participant in this transformative journey, advocating for seamless mobility and inclusive opportunities. The launch of new alliances signifies a commitment to expanding this vision, creating a network of institutions that not only share resources and knowledge but also work collectively to address the pressing challenges of our time, promoting European values and strengthening the European Identity.

As we celebrate the new 14 European University Alliances, and as highlighted in our contribution - Navigating the Future of the European University Alliances - ESN reaffirms its dedication to the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education principles in monitoring and supporting the alliances.

As we look to the future and enter a new political cycle in the European Union, ESN hopes that the ambitious goals set by the European Strategy for Universities will be met with sufficient funding in the upcoming discussions on the Multiannual Financial Framework and the new Erasmus+ programme.

The Erasmus Goes Green (EGG) project aimed to increase environmental awareness on mobility and encourage more sustainable internationalisation strategies in order to reduce the transport-related carbon footprint of mobility activities.

By focusing on the CO2 footprint of the different means of transport, the EGG project intended to empower both HE students and staff by making more conscious and environmentally friendly decisions when going on mobility abroad.

It achieved its objectives of:

Determining the carbon footprint of individual students and staff going on mobility during the 2014-2020 Erasmus programme;

Producing forecasts on the ecological impact of higher education students and staff going on mobility during the 2021-2027 Erasmus programme;

Raising the environmental awareness of higher education students and staff by offering a digital tool to visualise the impact of transport choices when travelling to their Erasmus destination;

Setting up incentives thus influencing the choices of higher education students and staff and evaluate the efficiency of these incentives;

Proposing higher education students, staff and policy makers options for offsetting carbon emissions;

Providing policymakers with targeted policy recommendations that would encourage changes in the Erasmus programme towards greener individual mobility and more sustainable transnational partnerships in higher education.

The results included:

Partners: Lapland University of Applied Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University of Lodz, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Erasmus Student Network, European University Foundation

How do students live in the EUROSTUDENT countries?

On cross-country average, 36 % of students live with their parents or guardian. 18 % live in student accommodation, 21 % live with partner/children, and 15 % of students live together with others (outside of student accommodation). Living alone (outside of student accommodation) is the least common housing situation in the EUROSTUDENT countries: on cross-country average, only 10 % of students do not share their living space. Living with parents is particularly widespread in Malta, Italy, Georgia, Albania, and Croatia, where more than half of all students live this way. In contrast, this form of housing is not very common in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. There, no more than 13 % of all students live with parents, instead the largest share of students lives with partner/children. The use of the parental home as housing form differs also by students' parents' financial status. In more than 90 % of countries, students from well-off families more frequently live with their parents while studying compared to their less well-off peers.
