SUMMARY:EGM Split 2026 | Morning Plenary Session
DESCRIPTION:Join Olga O’Sullivan (University of Limerick)\, Nathan Lusseau (ESN)\, and Nannette Ripmeester (Director\, Expertise in Labour Mobility) for the EGM morning plenary session\, guided by Tajana Mohnacki (Global Networks and Projects Assistant at University College Dublin) and moderated by Brikena Xhomaqi (Lifelong Learning Platform) on the 17th of April 2026 at 10:30 – 11:05 at Arena Gripe.. \nThe fifth edition of the Erasmus Generation Meeting\, Europe’s largest student-led conference on the Internationalisation of Higher Education\, focuses on Shaping Skills through Student Mobility. The event amplifies the Erasmus Generation’s role in shaping how competences are built through volunteering and student-led mobility\, while advancing the impact and recognition of student engagement among key stakeholders. EGM 2026 will be held from the 16th to the 19th of April 2026 at the University of Split\, Croatia. \nWith the central theme of “Port of Mobility – Gateway to Skills”\, this unique event will focuse on the development of skills through student mobility. The programme includes lectures\, panel discussions\, workshops and an EXPO exhibition\, where institutions and organisations will have the opportunity to present their work to young people interested in international mobility\, education and skills development. \nMore about the session: \nThe Friday morning plenary of the Erasmus Generation Meeting 2026 focuses on international mobility and the different pathways through which students experience Erasmus+. In the context of Europe’s ambition to build a Union of Skills\, the session aims to highlight how mobility opportunities contribute to the development of competences\, shape students’ perspectives and personal growth\, and strengthen the connection between higher education and the labour market. \nWithin this framework\, the panel discussion will focus specifically on traineeships as an important component ofthe Erasmus+ mobility experience. Traineeships offer students the opportunity to complement their academic mobility with practical experience\, thereby developing professional and transversal competences while gaining exposure to international working environments. \nThe objective of this discussion is to explore how traineeships support students’ learning journeys and professional developmentthrough mobility\, and how these experiences help translate international mobility into concrete career opportunities. The panel aims to highlight the value of traineeships within the broader Erasmus+ ecosystem\, while reflecting on how skills gained through mobility can be better recognised and connected to students’ future professional pathways. It will also specifically address what actually makes a high-quality traineeship\, as well as measures that can be implemented to ensure this is the experience of all Erasmus+ trainees. \nMore information can be found here.
