Singin’ the EU Blues

Watching the following EU promotional video for the Erasmus programme, a recurring theme is stated between all the students’ experiences that are highlighted: The Erasmus Blues.

While most would have a hard time criticizing the value of the inter-European higher education program, these blues do underline that perhaps Erasmus still has challenges. What is the added value of Erasmus if it only remains at the individual student or professor level? How is the programme making efforts to reintegrate scholars in their home country, while promoting further exchange of ideas and scholarship from respective host countries associated with Erasmus?

Furthermore, is there more this public policy aim could be doing to promote a truly European higher education culture? Or are the students shown in the video destined to life-long frustration in their respective home countries singing the blues?

They also have good taste in music:
