Switzerland or Brest? This is a taff question, it’s not that easy to choose only one Erasmus destination (some students do the first semester in one country and the second in another, we recommend you 1 year(!!) in on place). It’s easy to choose Paris, but than you can’t go for Erasmus in Valencia. Other people choose Finnland, Manchester or Cordoba. In order to find an answer, we ask youtube, we seached for “erasmus” and after several ours watching Erasmus Party Videos, this funny video was discoverd….

Switzerland or Brest

… Brest rocks !!!!!!

As we told yesterday, between august and october, more than 150 000 Erasmus Students (and still increasing) leave every year their country in order to study abroad. Some go for one semester, others stay the whole year(definitively the best choice). Yesterday we had a look on the statistics, concerning the country of origin of Erasmus students ( “Where do all the Erasmus Studenten come from?“, but today we want to know: Do they all want to go to the beaches in southers europe, stay on beaches and play drinking games? We will see … The statistic and all its numbers are from 2005/2006 vor, the last numbers available. And yes, our expectation was true, must Erasmus Students go to Spain, know for Fiesta & Sun. But Sweden was a big surprise! 7000 go to Schweden, every year ! Well if we could know if they are men or women it would be easier to understand if they are interested in Sweden or just in swedish Girls….

We found another funny video for your entertainment. As you know, more than 6.000.000.000 people (only some of them do ERASMUS) live in the world. Just some of them try to steal something, and some of these thieves are really stupid. It’s that stupid that you won’t believe your own eyes…

Here comes the video, have a nice day, and keep on smiling:

Every year, in september, thousand of student leave home, in order to participate in the Erasmus Programm, that means to study one or two semester abroad. Every University has “reserverd” several places in different other Universities all over Europe. But how to get one of them? How does your Home University choose those who may go? Well, until 2004/2005, spanish students had to pass examens to get one, where in Germany everybody has the same right to go, there places are given to those who applie first.

So, letzt have a look at the last statistics on Erasmus. Since 1987, when the erasmus program started, more than 1.000.000 Students participated, only in the year 2005/2006, 154.421 Studens moved abroad, but let’s have a look on where they come from..

Hello! Today a small article explaining you how to create your first Erasmus Video – It’s easy and you don’t need that much. First of all you need a digital camera, that can grab videos, today most of them can do so. Second, you need your favorite song as MP3 and last but not least you need a computer (for our explaination a Windows-Computer). Every version of Windows offers several utilities for free, one of the is the Windows Movie Maker – you will need it. If you have all these things, start grabbing your first videos.

If you open the Windows Video Maker, you will see 4 different windows. Three on the top, one on the bottom auf the Video Maker Window. The first one shows you the steps to do, the second one is the place where you put all your videos (the easiest way – open a second window with all the videos you have, click the video onces and keep the left button of your computer mouse pressed, move it into the second window of the Video Maker). In the third window, you may watch and cut your videos.

The window below is the place where you can design your own video, there are 3 channels, in the first one, you put all your videoclips, order them as you would like to have them in the video, additionally you put here the introduction and the end, that meens the text you would like to show before and after the video. The second channel is for music (put your MP3-song here, or Audio (you could include a video there, the programm would only use the Audio). And the third channel is for all these small comments and messages you want to show during your videos.

Important in the third channel is the magnify-function, using it, you can arrange videos and music the way it fits. That’s it, you’re done, just create the Video now, quality should be 340 Kbits/s. Now create your account at www.youtube.com and upload your video, it should take some minutes until it is available and you have for exemple the following address

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQdYJ-2cuK8

Now you can include the video in your own Erasmus Blog, it’s really easy, for the video named above, you just add the following to your article: “[youtube" + the videocode "cQdYJ-2cuK8" + "]” and you have the video on your blog, it should look like this:

As you see, it’s really easy to create and to publish an Erasmus Video. If you don’t have any videoclips, you may use fotos in order to create your own Video, it that case it’s a nice slide show with your favorite music, it looks as shown here:
