The seminar “Fill in the gap: 30 years of Erasmus” aims to create a forum to evaluate, discuss and exchange the impact of the non-formal education in the development of individuals and thus European societies, nowadays. Taking into account the relevance of the “lifelong learning” in the personal and professional life of each of us, we want to explore the potential and the impact of non-formal education both in educational institutions and in companies. In this regard, we believe Erasmus, which happens to turn 30 this year, to be the perfect bridge between the realms of formal and non-formal education. Having been conceived as an exchange program within the European university network, its impact in both the personal and professional life of the participants has widely transcended the confines of any classroom. Thus, our objectives for this seminar can be described as followed:

  • To reflect upon the impact of the Erasmus experience on the lives of each participant.

  • To exchange and raise awareness about the abilities, skills and resources acquired through non-formal education.

  • To analyze the intersections of non-formal spaces with those of formal education and the labor market in order to figure out possible alliances towards effective lifelong learning.

  • To celebrate the contribution of this programme to the foundation of a social, plural and united Europe.
