Europe besides ESN

Youth on the Move
In September, the Commission will adopt 'Youth on the Move', an initiative that aims to promote the mobility of students and trainees and to improve the employment situation of young people.
'Youth on the Move' will encourage EU countries to work together to give young people in Europe better opportunities to make the best of their skills. This can be achieved by improving the performance and international attractiveness of Europe's universities and by raising the overall quality of all levels of education and training in the EU.
