  • Project’s Official Logo
    In 2015 I took part in the Erasmus+ project myself and it was one of the best experiences in my life. It really showed what the Erasmus+ project is able to achieve. We, teenagers from different countries and cultures connected in only one week and became good friends and had a lot of fun. So I questioned myself, how could I show this in one picture, one symbol which shows the strong connection and harmony between different people from different countries which can be achieved even though we might have grown up in different places far away from each other ? Erasmus+ connects people from all over the world so I definitely wanted to include that; of course I also wanted to include the countries which are participating this year. For me it was also important to show the EU flag because it stands for all the norms and values we have and are trying to meet everyday. The binding  part  on which all this relies is Erasmus+ and that ist he reason why the globe is standing on it and supported by it. All this inspired me to create the Logo for this year and I am proud that it was chosen for such an amazing purpose.
