ESC: ESC Long Term in Rome, Italy as Communication Assistant

Erasmus Student Network Italy is the Italian level of the Erasmus Student Network AISBL (ESN), one of the biggest European student organisation whose main aim is to promote and support the international mobility amongst students. ESN Italy is a non-profit organisation that works as the administrative and coordinating body of the 53 ESN sections on the Italian territory. It was officially founded in 1994 by the members of the 7 oldest Italian ESN sections, to give a stronger continuity and coordination to their regular activities. With about 2000 volunteers, the aims of ESN Italy are: - To welcome foreign students who come to Italy for a study visit in one of the Italian universities, supporting them in finding accommodation, mentoring, and organising events to promote their integration in the hosting country; - To inform the local students about the European programmes’ opportunities, with a specific focus on exchanges between universities; - To implement projects in line with the main objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme. Mostly, ESN volunteers are students who went abroad for a mobility experience and who want to dedicate their knowledge and time to those who come to Italy for their study experience in an Italian university. Also, being part of the ESN community offers the possibility to develop a wide range of skills, such as teamwork and communication skills - by being part of the events’ organisation committees, working groups, local boards etc.
