garagErasmus selected one Erasmus Ambassador from each EU Member State and, after a training session held at the European Parliament in Brussels –including a welcome message by EP President Antonio Tajani-, we assisted him/her to organise one event in the country where he/she was for mobility, with the assistance of our Partner Universities, local associations and Foundations Members. Furthermore, garagErasmus also released the Erasmus Vote Power hand-out containing all the information about the EU Elections used for their important mission.

From February to May 2019 a total of 29 promotional events, conferences and info-desks were organised in 22 European cities for a total of 1900 citizens reached both online and online. The final objective of the project was to push the newly elected European Parliament to adopt a harmonized legislation on European Elections, valid in all Member States.  garagErasmus was proud to be an official partner of the European Parliament’s institutional campaign for the 2019 EU Elections “This time I’m voting”: by encouraging the Erasmus Generation to go to vote we contributed to raise the turnout by 8% for the first time in 40 years.
