Ride for your Rights

Sign the ‘Ride for Your Rights!’ Manifesto and support our call for more and better student mobility!

Sign the Manifesto

Twelve years into the Bologna process, European student mobility has not yet become what many have hoped for. It is still reserved to only a handful of students and the lucky few who had the chance to study abroad continue to face recognition and replacement problems after their exchange.

That is why ‘Ride for Your Rights!’, an initiative of exchange programme Campus Europae and the Erasmus Student Network, have launched a Manifesto, calling for the EU institutions, national governments and universities to take action. Our goal? To tear down the existing socio-economic barriers that hinder student mobility and to get more than 20% of all European students become mobile before 2020.

European athletes such as BMX Olympic gold medalist Maris Strombergs, football freestyler Iya Traore and basketball player Mindaugas Kuzminskas have already endorsed the ‘Ride for Your Rights!’ project and its Manifesto. Join them in voicing your support for better and more student mobility and sign the Manifesto here!

‘Ride for your Rights! It's time to (ex)change your life’ is a movement which calls out to every person living on this multicultural and exciting continent. We see it as our fundamental right and necessity, to be active and mobile students of today's world. To promote our cause, we will go on a 4000 km bike ride from the Balkans to Russia to raise awareness of the existing problems for student mobility.
