Motivate Czech students to go abroad, raising awareness about Erasmus+ and mobility programmes alongside giving the exchange students an opportunity to more deeply experience the Czech culture.
During the Erasmus in Schools program, participating students from Erasmus had the chance to visit Czech high schools, playing a crucial role in fostering cultural exchange and encouraging Czech students to explore opportunities abroad. These Erasmus participants effectively showcased their home countries, shared insightful experiences from their own Erasmus journeys, and motivated high school students to consider the numerous benefits of studying abroad. Through engaging discussions, they not only emphasized the value of international education but also inspired the local students to embark on their own international adventures. Additionally, Czech students accompanying the foreign participants introduced the ESN, providing insights into the organization's identity, activities, and their personal experiences with volunteering. This collaborative effort was carried out with three high schools in Brno: Gymnázium Matyáše Lercha, Brno; Gymnázium Bystrc - Vejrostova; and Obchodní akademie a vyšší odborná škola Kotlářská, Brno.
During the Erasmus in Schools done by Brno United during the Winter semester of 2024, 12 helpers and 13 participants made together 23 visits to classes.
