Does going abroad make students more engaged at a political, civil, and social level? What are the particular aspects of active citizenship gained through the abroad experience? Does this have an impact on their opinion about the European Union, as the entity that finances the Erasmus+ Programme? And on their voting behaviour? How do these elements interact with each other?

Make sure to fill it here in until 30th of April 2019!

Summer University Survey!

You only have to invest a few minutes of your time, but can contribute to the next #SUmmerOfYourLife! If you have any questions about the survey, please contact us at [log in to unmask]
