Often described as a life-changing experience, Erasmus has shaped the lives of millions of young people over the past 35 years. But what does this transformation actually look like? The film follows Roberto, one of over 15 million Erasmus participants, before, during, and after his Youth Exchange. Through his journey, the documentary offers an intimate insight into the personal growth, challenges, and encounters that define the Erasmus experience.

More than a single story, „The Erasmus Generation“ captures a shared European experience. More than a single story, “The Erasmus Generation” captures a shared European experience.
