The Erasmus Mobility Project was renamed as Erasmus+, which has benefited since its creation, in 1987, more than 15 million people in Europe.
Beetris Santos is one of them. “I went from Erasmus to Istanbul outside the European Union, but I was able to create more of my European identity by leaving Istanbul. For example, rather than leaving Germany,”Says. “I could see another perspective. How do they see us from the outside”He says more.
Do young people share that European identity or less?

Is there a distance from young people in politics?
New information shows that the EU and the Euro’s confidence in the Euro is the highest in 17 years, especially among the younger ones. However, in the election for the European Parliament last year, only 3 of the 10 youth went to the election. Many of the voters chose the extremist parties on the left and right side of the political spectrum. We analyze why politicians are very difficult to join the new generation.
“This new generation asks new things. (….) they need something else”Rodriguez says, if they do not give a pro -European language, “They will find them elsewhere.”

Its main concerns: the cost of living is the first place (41%) and the second place (30%) of world peace and stability (30%). Almost one -third of the young Europeans believe that the European Union should be the highest priority.
The mental health of young people, the growing challenge
Almost 50% of young people complained about emotional or psychological problems in the past year, and the mental health of our youth is the growing challenge.
Who is asking the countries to start the necessary methods to prevent mental illness, diagnose and treat them properly. What are the urgent measures that each member states should do? What is the role of Brussels?

Climate change is also a cause of concern. At the climate level, how can our youths assure our youths about the future to draw geopolit politics and economics?
