The European Student Assembly (ESA) is the flagship initiative of the EUC Voices Erasmus+ project, designed to bring together approximately 250 students from across Europe each year. This dynamic event provides a unique platform for selected European students to delve into essential issues facing the European Union, sparking impactful discussions and fostering intercultural exchange.
Students interested in participating have the opportunity to apply either as participants or coordinators, contributing to one of the Assembly’s discussion panels. The selection process is conducted collaboratively by EUC Voices partners and the European University Alliances, ensuring a transparent and inclusive approach. Selection criteria prioritize students with a passion for European politics, culture, and society, along with a motivation to engage in meaningful dialogue, share their perspectives, and positively impact their communities.
Panel coordinators, who play a central role in facilitating these discussions, are chosen not only for their interest and expertise but also for their experience as leaders in similar initiatives. These coordinators guide conversations that challenge perspectives and inspire new insights into Europe’s most pressing challenges.
