Abstract: When economic crisis was raging through Europe, a social class was the most affected, in comparison with the others, that social class being represented by young people from all over Europe. That moment was the starting point in seeking for a solution to counteract the effects of this crisis among this social class. The solution found by the European Commission is represented by Erasmus + programme which has as main objectives: reduction of youth unemployment, increasing international experiences of young people, encouraging the cooperation between the research and educational institutions, encouraging volunteering, increasing the integration among the Member States of the European Union as well as with associated countries of the European Union. Erasmus will celebrate the 30 years’ anniversary of its opening, being one of the most successful programs ever undertaken at European Union level. By 2020 it is estimated that over 6 million young students will have benefited from the financial support for carrying out an international mobility. In this context, the following problems arise: Erasmus program is perfect or needs improvements, it truly contributes to the personal development of the participants in the project and if the money are allocated efficiently. These were some of the issues that I had in mind when I started this research.
