    Job shadow a European peer as part of the ‘Live my life’ initiative or learn more about Erasmus+ opportunities for staff! ‘Live my life’ aims to guarantee more in-depth insights & longer-term benefits than individually arranged exchanges ➡️

The programme matched me and my partner at Leuven so perfectly well, we knew within the first 10 minutes of meeting we would have lots to discuss, and I honestly felt as though I was part of the team over there. The amount of knowledge and insight sharing that took place was much greater than I could ever have imagined.” Michelle Terrell
