EU politics and policies are messy and filled with jargon that is hard to understand. This makes it almost impossible to keep up with the latest developments in the EU. But plenty of exciting stuff is happening on the EU level and all over the continent that you may not even be aware of! "EU Untangled" is here to help you make sense of this mess and speak of the politics and policies in a simple – yet informative – way so you can understand what’s happening behind the headlines.

episode 8: Erasmus+: what does the future hold for Europe's best-known programme?
Description
“A life-changing experience” might be an accurate way to define the Erasmus+ programme. Over the past three decades, the EU’s flagship programme has allowed over 10 million people to benefit from cross-border exchanges in Europe and beyond. Now, Erasmus+ is undergoing changes of its own caused by a larger budget, a messy Brexit and a ravaging pandemic that has stalled mobility flows all over the world. ESN President Kostis Giannidis joins Victor, Harpa and Alex to discuss the challenges and opportunities lying ahead of an Erasmus+ programme that promises to be more inclusive, more digital and a lot greener.
GuestOur guest, Kostis Giannidis (link, twitter), is the president of the Erasmus Student Network (website, twitter).
