Beyond Networking: Why Events Matter in Erasmus+ Mobility

When students, teachers and organisations choose an Erasmus+ mobility experience in Malta, they often focus on internships, job shadowing activities, and educational programmes.

But behind every successful mobility project, there is also a strong network of local partners, professional connections, and international collaboration.

Lexema present at StartinMalta 2025

At Lexema, participating in major Maltese events such as StartinMalta, the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps (ESC) 2025 Awards Ceremony, TECHXPO is an important part of how we create high-quality Erasmus+ experiences in Malta.

These events allow us to connect with:

• local companies in Malta,

• educational institutions,

• Erasmus+ partners,

• startups and innovative businesses,

• NGOs and community organisations,

• professionals from hospitality, technology, agriculture, education, and social sectors.

This continuous networking activity helps us improve the quality of internships, job shadowing programmes, and training opportunities offered to participants coming to Malta through Erasmus+.

Why Events Matter for Erasmus+ Mobility?

Participating in professional and educational events allows organisations like Lexema to better understand the Maltese labour market and identify new opportunities for international students and educators.

By attending networking events in Malta, we can:

• develop new Erasmus+ partnerships,

• create stronger internship placements,

• discover innovative companies and sectors,

• build collaborations for future mobility projects,

• connect education with real working environments.

This has a direct impact on participants.

A stronger local network means:

• more structured internships in Malta,

• better job shadowing opportunities,

• access to professional environments,

• meaningful intercultural experiences,

• higher quality Erasmus+ mobility programmes.

Building International Connections Through Erasmus+

Events such as StartinMalta and TECHXPO showcase Malta’s growing innovation and business ecosystem, while AgriFair highlights the importance of local industries, sustainability, and community engagement.

At the same time, institutional events like the Erasmus+ and ESC Awards Ceremony create opportunities to connect with organisations actively involved in European education and mobility projects.

For our team, being present at these events means continuing to grow professionally, discovering new perspectives, and strengthening the international network that supports our daily work.

More Than Mobility

Erasmus+ is not only about travelling abroad.

It is about building connections between students, schools, organisations, companies, and communities across Europe.

That is why networking, collaboration, and active participation in Malta’s professional ecosystem remain essential elements in creating meaningful mobility experiences.

Because the best Erasmus+ projects are built not only inside classrooms and workplaces, but also through the relationships that make those opportunities possible.
