1987 the student exchange program Erasmus of the European Union was launched and now on the 30th
birthday, a ceremony is held in Berlin. EU-Commissioner of Education Tibor Navracsics and the German Minister of Education Johanna Wanka both participated in the ceremony, she said: “There is no more passionate ambassador for a common Europe than people who have themselves experienced how enriching it is to get to know other cultures. We need open-minded citizens who take Europe seriously and customize intelligence and knowledge.” Surely, Erasmus of Rotterdam, the great humanist of the Renaissance, that has lent his name to the program would have been delighted about the great success of this European initiative.
