Europe, neighboring the Middle East, was not asked. It was not called, not consulted. The operations were decided in circles of power from which Europe was absent — and their consequences, the waves of instability — it will be Europe that is called to manage them.

In Greece, cultural heritage is not something distant or abstract. It is present in our everyday lives — in the streets we walk, the stories we hear, the traditions we follow, and even in the way we gather, celebrate, and communicate. Ancient ruins stand next to modern buildings, myths coexist with contemporary realities, and history is woven into daily life.
Life after Erasmus: How mobility reshapes home for South Caucasus youth
Interviews with alumni from Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia suggest that mobility reshapes not only academic paths, but also how participants perceive home, responsibility, and belonging after their return.
