In 1989, when the Berlin Wall came down, it opened its doors to student movements from across Europe. Delete the scoop?

More recently, Erasmus has also supported job placements in companies abroad. (...) - University World News, by Gerard Byrne, 25 November 2012, Issue No:249 Delete the scoop?

A few days ago, I visited a high school in a poor urban area in Western Santiago and met with the junior and senior classes to discuss the student movement of 2011 in Chile. “What were the mobilized youth demanding?” I asked the students in the San Alberto Hurtado School. “Did they succeed?” The questions were relevant enough to keep the students engaged.
