Our Student Wins First Prize in the YES! Erasmus+ Competition!

We are very happy and proud to share some wonderful news! Ye Wai Yan, our fifth-year medical student at Wroclaw Medical University, studying in the English-taught programme, has won first prize in the national “Your Experiences Story – YES! Erasmus+” photo and video competition!

His video, “Healing, Learning, Growing – My Erasmus Story”, was among the entries shortlisted by the competition jury. It then received the highest number of votes in the online public vote, securing first place. Through his video, Ye Wai Yan shares what the Erasmus+ experience meant to him, showing how studying abroad can be about so much more than education – it is also about personal growth, discovering new perspectives, developing new skills and making friends from around the world.

As the winner, Ye Wai Yan will enjoy a study trip to Strasbourg and Brussels, including visits to the European Parliament. What a wonderful opportunity to explore European institutions, meet new people and create even more unforgettable memories!

The “Your Experiences Story – YES! Erasmus+” competition, organised by the Centre for Cooperation and Dialogue at the University of Warsaw and funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, celebrates the experiences of students and doctoral candidates who have taken part in international exchange programmes. It highlights how Erasmus+ brings people together and creates opportunities to learn, grow and discover new cultures.

A huge congratulations to Ye Wai Yan! We are incredibly proud to have you representing Wroclaw Medical University. It is wonderful to see your Erasmus+ story receive such recognition, and we hope it will encourage more of our students to take the opportunity to study abroad and experience all that international exchange has to offer.

We would also like to say a big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for Ye Wai Yan’s video and cheered him on. Your votes and support really made a difference and helped make this achievement possible!

Ye Wai Yan, we wish you an amazing trip to Strasbourg and Brussels, lots of exciting experiences and many more successes ahead. Enjoy every moment – you’ve earned it!
