It increases people's skills and employability through provides grants to support students, trainees, staff and volunteers to study or work abroad and organizations to organize activities. In order to let more Chinese people know about"Erasmus+ Programme"and participate in it, the author of the paper just selects its introductory part Erasmus+ Programme Guide to translate. While translating, the author of the paper finds that certain translation theory and correspondent translation methods must be adopted to guide the translation in order to produce a correct and expressive version. The paper is hence intended to study the translation theory and translation methods adopted in the translation of Erasmus+ Programme Guide.展开更多

The core assumption is that due to people-to-people contact, Erasmus participants are most likely to become EU informal ambassadors, in the sense that they become carriers of EU soft power leading to changes in cultural and social perceptions. However, what will the place of Erasmus+ be in the ongoing debate on international cultural relations’ strategy? Erasmus+ can play a major role in this new strategy considering the huge growth of mobility flows between EU and ENP countries, since the new programme was launched. Moreover, EU institutions are looking for new strategic tools of public diplomacy. Have they realised that the external dimension of Erasmus+ lends itself to being one of these? Therefore, the topic of this work is of high interest because it is closely related to the debate about both the means and the ends of the EU external policy. For the sake of this research, three case studies, from different geographical regions neighbouring the EU, have been chosen: Tunisia, Ukraine, and Georgia. A comparison among these three countries will reveal under which conditions Erasmus+ can be considered a soft power’s instrument. Hence, the identification of conditions applicable to all EU partner countries in order to evaluate whether the EU can spread its soft power through Erasmus+, represents the paper’s added value which opens new avenues for further research on the topic.展开更多
