The final paper deals with the impact of the pandemic on student mobility, while the greatest focus is on the digitisation of the new Erasmus+ programme and its connection with the epidemiological situation from the perspective of programme's participants over the past two years. The aim of the paper is to bring the Erasmus+ programme and its main focus closer to readers, as well as to offer an analysis of the programme’s digitisation that are available after the start of the pandemic. To do this, interviews were held with four young people who had the opportunity to experience mobility inspite of the epidemiological situation. The interviews were unstructured, where the questions were adapted to how the conversation developed with the interviewee in order to maintain naturalnes. This was also to give the interviewees as much freedom as possible in their answers, since they were talking about their personal experiences. The author's personal experience is also present in the work as a further example of participation in the Erasmus+ programme during the pandemic, using the autoethnographic method. The conclusion of the paper comes from a combination of the insights given from the interviews, as well as from theoretical research. Although the digitisation of the Erasmus+ programme is seen as one of the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not initiated because of the pandemic but the needs of today's times, even though the pandemic accelerated it. Despite all the positive aspects of digitisation, virtual mobility will never be able to replace the informal aspect of interculturality and skill development outside the formal educational system that the traditional Erasmus+ programme offers.
