The EMA photo competition
The Winner of the 1st photo competition announced by
Erasmus Mundus Students and Alumni Association (EMA) under the theme “Between Cultures” was

Star.
"The
Unity Star photo portrays the fun experienced by the EM students while learning with others, taking into consideration the diverse cultures from the different parts of the world, each one representing a unique language, tradition and background. The star, as depicted by “peace sign” fingers linked to each other symbolizes the unity among these students, a microcosm of the unity of nations in the world. Moreover, this symbol also resembles the unity demonstrated by the different countries of the European Union whereby through the European Commission, gave each EM student an opportunity to have this unforgettable education and experience."
