ERASMUS FLAG PARADE
It all started with a massive meeting consisting of Erasmus students is Prague at the Wenceslas Square on the 18th of October 2017. This parade consists on taking your home country flag to represent with pride, honor your beliefs, and to show the others that the place where you come from does not matter, we are here for the same reason, studying and enjoy Erasmus life. After a few minutes, we started walking down the street, shouting and yelling “Erasmus, Erasmus” surprising the tourist and locals around. Then the parade continued towards the Old Town Square, going through the gunpowder tower, and taking lots of pictures all together. The parade ended in front of the Rudolfinum, in which there was live rock music, information about Erasmus programs, and people that can be your new friends from all over the world.
