ESN Riga on Erasmus Generation Meeting
Summary

 

ESN Riga made a strong impression at the Erasmus Generation Meeting (EGM) 2025 in Ancona, Italy. This annual gathering, the largest student-led conference focused on student mobility, brought together around 1100 delegates from across Europe and beyond under the theme "Guiding the waves of change" from April 4th to 7th, 2024.

The EGM provided a valuable platform for ESN volunteers to engage in practice sharing, learning, and networking through a diverse program of common events like the flag parade, opening and closing ceremonies, and daily plenaries, alongside a wide array of individual sessions and activities.

ESN Riga celebrated significant achievements during the event. After months of dedicated work, their initiative for Erasmus Destination of the Year 2025 earned them an impressive 4th place. This recognition highlights Riga's appeal and efforts in providing a positive experience for international students.

Furthermore, ESN Riga's collaborative project with the Riga City Society, "United in Riga," which focused on integration, was awarded 3rd place in the Visibility award category. This accolade underscores the impact and visibility of their work in fostering a welcoming environment for newcomers.

Adding to their success, ESN Riga also received an Honorable Mention for their training session, "Training Panic at the disco - not anymore! Crash Course on stress management." This recognition demonstrates their commitment to the well-being and development of ESN volunteers and international students alike.

ESN Riga's strong performance at EGM Ancona 2025 reflects their dedication to enhancing the Erasmus experience and their proactive engagement within the broader ESN network. Their achievements in destination promotion, community integration, and volunteer training serve as inspiring examples for other sections across Europe.
