Get inspired by the ESN Corporate Design and send the proposal of your logo to vicepresident@esn.org until the end of August.

Year 2009 would mean 20 years of existence of our organisation - 20 years of work for international and exchange students, 20 years of fun and friendship, 20 years of great events and projects...

As it is a birthday of every single ESNer, let's celebrate it together - let's put together all our energy, all our skills, all our love for ESN and make it a great year. There is a lot to come - but first, we need a special logo for the 20th anniversary - a logo that would be used throughout a year as a symbol of the anniversary.

And who could be a better designer than the ESNers themselves?

Participate in the 20th anniversary logo contest, get inspired by the ESN Corporate Identity and send us your design until the end of August (formats: we accept .jpg, but please provide us with any vector formats, like .cdr and .ai). Afterwards, all the other members of ESN will have a chance to choose among the logos and select the one they like the best!

So what are you waiting for? Be the ONE whose logo is going around the Europe for the whole next year.

For more information or to send the logo designs, contact vicepresident@esn.org.

The 2008 edition of the ESNSurvey is launched. The main topic of this year is “Exchanging Cultures”.

As one of the core objectives of any exchange is to discover foreign cultures, integrate with local people and try to adapt to new cultural conditions, we think it is interesting to see if these processes really take place during a study period in a foreign country. The survey deals with topics such as cultural shock and its social implications, integration with local culture and people, intercultural skills learned etc.

The survey is open from June till August 2008.

<p><span>The Erasmus Student Network AISBL has a new International Board!</span></p><p>5 young, ambitous and motivated persons are now fully responsible for our organisation on international level and the conduct of various high-profile projects. </p>

Since the Country of National Representatives in Warsaw in May the new Board of ESN International is complete and fully in charge. From now on the new Board is going to work full time in Brussels in the composition of:

• Matthias from ESN Winterthur / Switzerland as President (president@esn.org)

It is the fourth year that ESN is represented in Brussels. Year by year ESN gains new sections, new ideas and grows stronger. According to the new Action Plan 2008/09 created by the members of the new Board and approved by CNR the following year will be ambitious, full of new tasks and projects, but at the same time it will be the year of stability and strengthening the basis of ESN as one of the most important student organizations in Europe.

The New Board wishes for fruitful cooperation with all the sections, members of ESN, existing and new partners. Together we will be active, creative, and supportive to ensure high-quality services to ESNers and international students.
