According to Rajon, "It was great to represent EMA at the first-ever Erasmus Generation Meeting in the beautiful city of Porto. I had the chance to meet a few current EMMD students at the event. I also talked about EMMDs and EMA to prospective students who approached me during the mobility fair. Overall, it was a very good experience to come here".
