Eudemy.id: From an Erasmus Joint Master Experience To an Establishment of Learning Community
Athifah Utami, Yochi Okta Andrawina
ABSTRACT:
Continuing higher education is one of the biggest decisions one could make. Education improves a person’s quality of life in many ways and many aspects, from academic, career, personal, wellbeing, and social. Hence, it is crucial to prepare it well from a very young age to an adult. Many ways are offered to get high-quality of education with hands-on experience and rich multicultural experiences. Erasmus+ offers a lot of programs to help young professionals to high-level expert chances to develop themselves, in sports, youth activities, higher education access, and research. As an alumnus of one of the Erasmus+ programs, Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM), we decided to establish a learning community. Eudemy.id was established after we discovered how enthusiastic young people from ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asia Nations) Regions are to continue their education. Departing from our personal experience sharing our education abroad and some tips to get a scholarship on our YouTube channels, we decided to make a platform to share more and reach more people. We further realized the need in some aspects of academic, career, community, and personal life skills, so we further categorized our program into three sub-programs: Eudemy mentorship (for Erasmus+ application preparation and alumni sharing), Eudemy Community (for young people who actively involved in volunteering and social work), and Eudemy Scholar (for those who seek assistance or mentorship in other areas such as career, academic, and personal skills). We hope these programs can help young people better prepare themselves for their study and careers.
