IMPACT OF EUROPEAN YOUTH PROGRAMS ON STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PETROSANI.

Education, training, youth activities and sport are essential elements for promoting common European values, social integration, strengthening intercultural understanding and a sense of belonging to a community and preventing violent radicalization. Erasmus + is an important tool for promoting the inclusion of people from disadvantaged backgrounds, especially newcomers. The impact of Erasmus is enormous, not only for each student, but also for the European economy as a whole. Through its support for skills and for a modern higher education system, with closer links between academia and employers, Erasmus helps us combat skills mismatches. The program also gives young people the confidence and ability to work in other countries, where they might find suitable jobs for them, instead of being trapped in a geographical non-compliance.
