STAY LOUD.
Because quiet never changed anything.

Today we honour students who dared to speak up, stand up, and fight for academic freedom, justice, and democracy: yesterday, today, and every day.

Your voice matters. Your anger matters. Your demands matter.
History proves: students shape the world.

🎓💭 Is Erasmus+ really accessible to everyone?
We asked ...and students said no.
Rising costs, limited grants, and unequal access mean too many young people are left out of one of Europe’s most successful programs.
It’s time for an Erasmus+ that’s truly for all, not just for those who can afford it.

🧠 We try to focus on various types of projects which include in big portions mental health related topics. Currently, we are working on MindEd which aims to enhance mental well-being on university campuses for both students and staff by adopting a “whole university” approach to mental health.

As per the latest EuroStudent Report:
🏠 37% goes to accommodation, (yes...we know!)
🍽️ 23% to food
🚌 7% to transportation

The rest? Well, that’s for everything else student life throws at you. We urge the EU to take action and be ambitious with the upcoming housing action plan.
