Erasmus in Schools (EiS)

„Enriching the local community through the international students’’

Erasmus in Schools (EiS) is a project led by ESN sections all over Europe as part of Social Erasmus. It gives exchange students a chance to visit local schools (from kindergartens to high schools) in order to share not only their experiences of mobility and living in a new environment, but also the culture and traditions of their home countries.

While listening to such stories, kids learn a lot of new facts about different nations and cultures. More importantly, meeting real people from other countries helps them to see the beauty of our differences and push the boundaries of stereotypes.
