Nestled on the Adriatic coast, Ancona is the hidden gem waiting to be explored by the Erasmus Generation. An Italian city, where history and beauty unite and the waves of the Adriatic Sea kiss the shore. With its historic port, golden beaches, the iconic Passetto and a centre rich in culture, the enchanting coastal city is the international stage of the Erasmus Generation, guiding the waves of change!
Some activities during EGM Ancona
The EGM Expo is an opportunity for organisations of the Erasmus Student Network to promote mobility programmes and opportunities existing at the Higher Education Institutions in their countries. The Expo also offers space for young people to learn more about mobility programmes and opportunities in Europe and find their next mobility destination.
The Flag Parade is one of the highlights of the Erasmus Generation Meeting Ancona 2025, symbolising the unity and diversity of the Erasmus Generation. The participants proudly carry flags representing their countries. As the parade makes its way along the Viale della Vittoria, the colours of the Erasmus Generation flutters in the breeze and creates a spectacle of multiculturalism and togetherness.
The Erasmus Destination of the Year
The Erasmus Destination of the Year initiative seeks to identify great practices in supporting student mobility at the city level. Five finalists are selected to bring their pitch to EGM and convince the audience that their city deserves the title of the Erasmus Destination of the Year. The winning city is announced at the closing ceremony of EGM, so better stay tuned!
Our theme
The fourth edition of the Erasmus Generation Meeting, Europe’s largest student-led conference, focuses on Empowering Youth as the Changemakers of Society. The event empowers the Erasmus Generation to let their voices be heard and influence key stakeholders in international mobility, driving impactful changes and improvements across the different mobility programmes in higher education.
The whole programme of EGM Ancona 2025 surrounds the main theme and two pillars:
- Active Participation and Youth Engagement in Local Communities: young people are encouraged to actively participate in their local communities through initiatives led by the Erasmus Generation. It highlights how getting involved can make a difference, empowering youth to positively impact their surroundings every day.
- Impact of Youth Work and Volunteering on Internationalisation: youth work and volunteering play an important role in internationalisation of higher education and beyond. It explores how initiatives of the Erasmus Generation enable youth to engage on a global scale, fostering cultural exchange and meaningful intercultural dialogue.
