Learning, Living and Working in Europe

The Trust, in conjunction with the National Union of Students, is running a series of Information Days at Scottish Universities. These raise awareness of EU programmes (e.g. Erasmus, Comenius, IAESTE, Language Assistants) and of post-graduate study and employment opportunities in other European countries. Volunteering is also covered.

Speakers include representatives from the European Commission, European Parliament, British Council, Young Scot, the Scottish Government and the private sector. In addition, students and young people who have studied or worked in Europe give presentations on their experiences. There is an opportunity to ask questions and to network with the speakers, and the British Council, Young Scot and the European Parliament and Commission have information stands.

Information days have been held this academic year at the universities of Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow and also at Inverness College.

The Trust is always looking for students or recent graduates who have taken part in any of the EU programmes - Erasmus, Comenius, Language Assistants, IAESTE - and who would be willing to talk at our information days. Please get in touch if you would be willing to give a short presentation on your time abroad.

“The event provided me with so much valuable information and so many contacts and resources that I feel confident and enthusiastic about my future in Europe." - Laura Hanford, attendee at Stirling university conference
