30th Anniversary of the Erasmus+ Programme Since its birth in 1987 the Erasmus Programme gave the opportunity to experience living and learning abroad to 9 million and grew to offer a large number of additional opportunities to individuals and organisations. The 30th Anniversary of Erasmus+ was celebrated across many countries and institutions. In June 2017 during a conference in Strasbourg the Erasmus+ App was launched signifying the transformation the programme underwent in 30 years. The celebrations concluded in December with an event in BOZAR in Brussels full of performances and inspiring testimonials. JoĂŁo Pinto, the President of ESN joined the panel with Martine Reicherts, Director-General for Education and Culture and Hywel Ceri Jones, one of the founders of the Programme. All around Europe, ESN volunteers organised hundreds of events to celebrate the Anniversary including debates, flag parades and even a bus tour around the country. Online, the #HumansOfErasmus campaign uncovering the human side of Erasmus was curated by ESN.
