Der Bundesrat hat an seiner Sitzung am 6. November den Grundsatzentscheid für die Beteiligung an Erasmus+ getroffen. Er wird dem Parlament den entsprechenden Finanzierungsbeschluss im Rahmen der Botschaft zum Gesamtpaket über die Verhandlungen mit der EU unterbreiten. Damit könnte die Schweiz 2027 dem europäischen Bildungsprogramm Erasmus+ wieder beitreten. 

On Friday 9 February, several student associations gathered on the Bundesplatz in Bern. Their aim: to mark the 10th anniversary of Switzerland's exclusion from the European exchange programme Erasmus+, following the acceptationof the initiative against mass immigration. After speaking in public, the organisers held a symbolic engagement ceremony between Switzerland and Erasmus+. They called on the Federal Council to press ahead with negotiations with the EU in the perspective of a re-association to the mobility programme.

As of 2023, Movetia will be supporting mobility worldwide, not just in Switzerland and Europe. This geographical opening up is in line with a political objective and with the logical development of Movetia’s activities. Following the expansion of cooperation projects, it is now time to broaden the scope of Movetia’s international activities. The new legal bases will offer more opportunities for exchange and mobility and will contribute to the development and quality of the Swiss education system.
