Erasmus students in Svalbard, Norway

Erasmus students in Svalbard, Norway

The EU's Erasmus programme is celebrating its 30 years this year. For three decades, this flagship programme has given 9 million people - in particular young people - opportunities to gain new experiences and broaden their horizons by going abroad. The current Erasmus+ programme, running from 2014 to 2020, has a budget of €14.7 billion and will provide opportunities for over 4 million people to study, train, gain work experience and volunteer abroad. This photo reportage presents the viewers with series of photos illustrating a day in the life of a British Erasmus student in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard.
