What is ESN? Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is the biggest student association in Europe. Registered in 1989 for supporting and developing student exchange and mobility, it currently has 540 local sections in 42 countries in the European Higher Education Area. ESN operates on three different levels: local, national, and international. ESN works for the creation of a more mobile and flexible education environment by supporting and developing student exchange from different levels and providing an intercultural experience to local students who do not have the opportunity to go on exchange abroad (“internationalization at home”). ESN Vaasa is one of 17 local sections operating in Finland. Our section organizes social activities mainly targeted to students of the five Higher Education Institutions located in Vaasa. We also welcome guests from other cities and countries to take part in our activities. We currently have eight board members working hard to provide the best experience to all internationally minded students. All our work is also made possible by the wonderful help of our active members. These members are volunteers that help us with preparations and implementations of the events, trips, communications, and much more. To become an active member, you can send an email to president@esnvaasa.net or join the Facebook group “Volunteers: ESN Vaasa Actives 2020”. You can also join “ESN Vaasa Autumn 2021” Facebook group to meet other students of the semester. While waiting for the fun to begin, remember to follow our social media channels so that you can stay as updated as possible regarding our upcoming events.
