Abstract:

Since their creation, the student mobilities under Erasmus Programme have had as their goal the promotion of the academic and cultural exchange, as well as the support of developing European identity and the feeling of belonging to the European Union. Nevertheless, there are few studies proving how the participation in the programme affects the development of European identity. This paper aims at contributing to the generation of more knowledge on this issue by presenting results from a scientific research aiming to detect the impact of Erasmus+ Programme on the language skills and the European identity of students from SU “St. Kliment Ohridski“ who have participated in mobilities under the Erasmus+ Programme during the period 2015–2019. The methodology includes various quantity and quality methods, including a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with participants in the programme.
