Ride for your Rights: A call for a better mobility

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.
