🌍✨ Reflecting on “Exploring EU Integration from a GenZ Perspective” Project ✨🌍

Looking back at our Erasmus+ youth exchange in Borne Sulinowo, Poland, one thing became clear: EU integration is more than treaties or policies, it’s about people.

From July 20 to July 26, through workshops, debates, and intercultural evenings organised with Fundacja “Zielony Słoń”® (Green Elephant Foundation), 27 young people from Belgium, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Hungary, and Italy came together to explore what integration truly means from a Gen Z perspective.

We learned that integration begins with dialogue, where differences become opportunities rather than barriers. Through shared stories, laughter, and even late-night conversations, participants discovered that Europe’s strength lies not only in its institutions but in the connections built across cultures.

For Gen Z, EU integration means empathy, collaboration, active engagement, and the belief that young voices can shape the future of Europe. This exchange showed us that the next generation is ready to contribute to a more inclusive, democratic, and united Europe through creativity, reflection, and action.

🌍✨ From Verdun to the future of Europe ✨🌍

Born from our reflections during the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange in Verdun, we came together as young people from Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxembourg to reflect, create, and imagine peace. Not just as history, but as a shared, living responsibility.

Through workshops, site visits, and bold conversations, we built bridges across borders and generations. 💬🕊️

💫Peace isn’t a slogan. It’s a way of being.

🌍 A World Shared: How Erasmus Mundus Changed Liseth’s Map of Life

Before 2018, Liseth Victoria Pasaguayo Báez’s path was clear and Ecuadorian. Then came her acceptance into the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Mechatronics Engineering (EU4M)—and her world expanded beyond imagination.

🇪🇸 In Spain, Liseth discovered that food is more than flavor; it’s community. Sharing tapas taught her how openness and connection can make any place feel like home.

🇪🇬 In Egypt, she found beauty in contrasts. The monumental history and vibrant energy of Giza reminded her that even in the unfamiliar, there’s a universal thread of humanity.

🇫🇷 In France, Liseth experienced elegance and excellence—academically and culturally. Completing her thesis at the renowned FEMTO research institute deepened both her technical expertise and her appreciation for precision (and fine cheese 🧀).

For Liseth, Erasmus Mundus was more than a master’s degree—it was a masterclass in life. Living, learning, and growing across three countries reshaped not only her career but also her worldview.

💡 Her true diploma? Adaptability, empathy, and the joy of discovering unity in diversity.
