A Conversation with Rui Tavares

The Erasmus Generation and the Creation of a European Democracy

Join us for the final discussion of the semester of our European Wednesdays series, this week with a special guest, former member of the European Parliament and leader of the LIVRE party, Rui Tavares.

This discussion will address the topic of the Erasmus generation and the creation of European democracy, through three main questions :

• What are the legacies of the Erasmus program ? How has it shaped a European democracy ?

• Is the program only for the elite ? What role does it play in shaping an EU for the elites ?

• How can the Erasmus ties be better leveraged to serve a pan-European community ?

No debate experience or political background is necessary, we encourage walk-ins and we value diversity of perspectives.
