In Prague, night falls quickly — and the party begins.

In this episode of Erasmus on Air, I explore celebration as a space of freedom, refuge, and collective memory. Erasmus students from across Europe share why they dance, gather, and let go, even as war, climate crisis, and political instability shape their generation. In contrast, Kaja’s voice — shaped by life under a totalitarian regime — recalls a time when gathering was dangerous, and celebration meant resistance. Between partying and commemorating, forgetting and remembering, this episode asks a simple but essential question: when the world feels unstable, why do we still need to come together?
