🧑‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓🇪🇺 #ESA23 ! second

🧑‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓🇪🇺 #ESA23 ! second edition of the European Student Assembly – Strasbourg, France 🇫🇷

👏This year, 230 students from 30 European countries, selected from 1,400 applications, spent three days visiting the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
The European Student Assembly (ESA 2023) in Strasbourg brought together students from the European University Associations (EUA), including EU-CONEXUS, and numerous other partners to engage in meaningful discussions, develop recommendations, and advocate for change.

🗣️There was a wide range of topics for debate with 10 themes ranging from democracy and sustainability to mental health, foreign policy, and skills development.

Three intensive days included panel discussions to refine the proposals. In addition, participants had the opportunity to get to know the city of Strasbourg as the capital of the European Parliament.

Participating in the ESA 2023 Strasbourg event was not just an event, but a transformative experience. Participants had the opportunity to network with their peers, gain invaluable knowledge, and develop important skills that will shape their future.

😊 We look forward to the third edition of the ES. #europe #europenstudents #assembly #strasbourg #france #students #EUCONEXUS #europeanuniversities
