Then we have the various international and transnational projects on common grounds with the member countries such as: Erasmus, Comenius, Grundtvig etc. These projects allow students and teachers to move around and explore their new home, a home widened to allow for them to wander around without limit. A homes where they can challenge themselves with their age mates and colleagues. A home where swapping ideas and opinions are the best ways of enriching one another. Bringing down the borders is like bringing down the Berlin wall, it opens opportunities to our youths and our teachers to ‘‘steal’’ ideas and empower their own schools with best ideas taken from schools or universities visited abroad.

It is a proper enrichment of cultures, ways of life and eye opener to inventions and talent discovery without any limit. Taking into consideration that we already enjoy virtual lack of borders through the use of the social media such as web, internet, twitter, emails, skype and facebook to name but a few, going physically to a place and meeting age mates in their natural and social environment is just about the best freedom of communication any generation can ask for.

Education in the EU Europa Accademicamente Unita, e non solo Europa monetaria

The European Union is from my own point of view one of the best

‘‘invention’’ of the century. Let me explain myself better, I am not going to delve into the economic aspect of it but the borderless one. The fact that borders are open for free movement of people from one country to another is a total sense of liberalism of the 25 member countries. We are lucky enough to avoid all the havocs of going through stressful immigration vetting before going from one country to the other. We move

within the whole member countries - except for those which did not sign the Schengen treaty - as if we are moving from Potenza to Milan. In other words, you can grab your passport or ID card, jump into the first available flight and walk into a long list of cities from Athens and Zurich. Then we have the various international and transnational projects on common grounds with the member countries such as: Erasmus, Comenius, Grundtvig etc. These projects allow students and teachers to move around and explore their new home, a home widened to allow for them to wander around without limit. A homes where they can challenge themselves with their age mates and colleagues. A home where swapping ideas and opinions are the best ways of enriching one another. Bringing down the borders is like bringing down the Berlin wall, it opens opportunities to our youths and our teachers to ‘‘steal’’ ideas and empower their own schools with best ideas taken from schools or universities visited abroad. It would eventually provide a

wider opportunity of mobility while looking for jobs. It is a proper enrichment of cultures, ways of life and eye opener to inventions and talent discovery without any limit. Taking into consideration that we already enjoy virtual lack of borders through the use of the social media such as web, internet, twitter, emails, skype and facebook to name but a few, going physically to a place and meeting age mates in their natural and social environment is just about the best freedom of communication any generation can ask for.
