ACA member, the Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation (OeAD) recently published a new magazine, "#youngEurope," which showcases the impact of European educational and exchange programmes on young people, emphasising their role in fostering a united European identity. Highlighting initiatives like Erasmus+, the European Solidarity Corps, and CEEPUS, the magazine demonstrates how these programmes enable students, educators, and researchers to gain valuable cross-border experiences. 

Through personal stories, the magazine illustrates the transformative power of international exchanges. A survey by OeAD reveals that 97% of respondents see mobility programmes as crucial for personal growth and European unity. These exchanges help young Europeans develop a sense of cohesion and prepare them to address global challenges like climate change. 

In the run up to the 2024 European elections, the magazine underscored the importance of continuing to promote educational and scientific exchanges. By doing so, it aims to inspire more young people to participate in international educational opportunities, contributing to a dynamic and united Europe.
