The Erasmus Generation, created by Vincent Imperato (Documentarist Director) and Tímea Bárocz (Production Manager), is a documentary that captures the profound impact of the Erasmus experience on young lives, illustrating the transformations individuals undergo before, during, and after their time abroad. Unlike traditional documentaries filled with data and information, this film is an emotional journey, rich with personal moments that encapsulate the true essence of Erasmus.
About the Documentary
Inspired by countless Erasmus stories, The Erasmus Generation sheds light on the shared sentiment: “Erasmus changed my life.”
With over 15 million participants, Erasmus has shaped a truly unique generation across Europe. The documentary highlights Youth Exchanges and Training Courses, which are open to those over 14 and provide the same life-changing experience for non-students. The journey of Roberto, a young participant, serves as a universal story of the transformation and shared values that Erasmus inspires in everyone who embarks on this adventure.
