Petition is addressed to: EU institutions

As a member organization of the European Union, Hungary is also eligible to participate in Erasmus+ mobility programs, allowing not only Hungarian youth and educators to gain valuable experiences and professional expertise abroad, but also enabling thousands of students from all over the world to visit Hungary, get to know our country and study here.
The National Youth Country of Hungary as the umbrella organization representing Hungarian youth and youth-related civil organizations is launching a petition to ensure that students from Hungarian universities undergoing a transition to a new model can continue to participate in Erasmus+ higher education mobility programs.
Therefore, we are launching a signature collection campaign in collaboration with the community of universities from April 12-21, 2023, to collectively advocate for representation of students studying at universities undergoing a transition in front of the European Youth Forum and the institutions of the European Union.
We urge the European Commission not to let young people become victims of the debate between the European Union and a member state government.
We hope that a negotiated resolution to the above conflict will be reached as soon as possible, as time is a crucial factor in a young person’s life when it comes to their future and success. The decision of the Commission puts the dreams of thousands of young people at risk every year, and it leaves a resource untapped that provides opportunities for international knowledge transfer, which is indispensable for the development of both the individual and the member states.
