As every year, the @univlarochelle Green Party welcomed students with a fun and festive atmosphere, giving them the chance to discover all the services supporting their student life.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The EU-CONEXUS team joined the event with a geography game about our partner universitiesโ€™ countries, a playful way to present the many opportunities offered by the alliance: mobility, internships, projects, and international experiences

๐Ÿ‘ Special thanks to @ayadaac, student and EU-CONEXUS ambassador, for being part of our stand! Last spring, she took part in the EU-CONEXUS Festival in Limassol (Cyprus), a great example of the international experiences our students can enjoy.

๐Ÿ’š A great start to the academic year, full of discoveries, encounters, and a true European spirit!
