"The YUFE initiative will offer all students and young professionals an opportunity to strengthen European values and identity"

"YUFE is an outstanding project with creative, committed and ambitious people at the core. From the beginning of the project, student representatives have been included as equal partners in creating all the policy and other activities of YUFE University. Working in such a supportive environment stimulates all YUFE members to be even more productive and directed towards a common aim. The YUFE Student Forum is a new student representative body constituted in Cyprus. Its main goal is to bring the student voice and student ideas to all YUFE decision-making structures. Members of the YUFE Student Forum are very aspiring young people with a great pool of ideas and for sure we will continue contributing to creating something great for all the students, community and staff of YUFE partners.

We can’t wait for the first YUFE actions to be implemented so that students of all YUFE University partners can use this opportunity to study abroad without any barriers, indeed become a part of the local community, and experience all the diversity of our Europe. We are also looking forward to the online opportunities that we will have in our virtual campus, which will enable interaction of an even larger number of students than would be possible through physical mobility only. Through the carefully designed volunteering programme we will hopefully be able to work on solving problems and helping local communities all over Europe. In this way, the YUFE initiative will offer all students and young professionals an opportunity to strengthen European values and identity."
