Sofia Corradi, the founder of the Erasmus program, passes away at 91.

Known as ‘Mamma Erasmus’, she viewed the program, which has sent approximately 16 million students to study abroad through Europe, as her ‘personal pacifist mission.’

@EU_Commission other countries have already done the bird thing, it's pretty but unoriginal.

My two proposals:

1. European values: embodied by women like #SophieScholl #MargaKlompé #SimoneVeil #SofiaCorradi

(Bit odd that for all the publicity you guys get out of #Erasmus you almost never mention the woman who created it against fierce opposition from member states governments who were and continue to be The Worst...)
