More than 50 young students from across Pakistan have been selected for the Erasmus+ programme which is the world’s most successful student exchange programme.
Through this programme, which is funded by the European Union, young students from outside Europe have the unique opportunity to pursue a master’s degree at various universities across Europe. To mark the great achievement of the young and aspiring students, Anne Marchal, chargé d’affaires of the EU Delegation to Pakistan, hosted a pre-departure briefing session and reception for the successful candidates.
Speaking to the students, Anne Marchal said: “At the heart of Erasmus+ is the belief that education will shape the society we live in. By bringing people from different backgrounds together, Erasmus+ helps to build open, tolerant societies – something that is today more vital than ever.”
She thanked the students for choosing to study in Europe saying, “You are now part of a big family of students from around the world.”
