1. EuroPass
Europass its new possibility for ACTIVE Youth!
Whether you are planning to enrol in an education or training programme, looking for a job, or getting experience abroad, it is important to be able to make your skills and competences clearly understood.
Europass is a new way of helping people to:
- make their skills and qualifications clearly and easily understood in Europe (European Union, EFTA/EEA and candidate countries);
- move anywhere in Europe.
- two documents (Europass curriculum vitae (CV) and Europass Language Passport) you can fill in yourself; and
- three other documents (Europass Certificate Supplement, Europass Diploma Supplement and Europass Mobility) filled in and issued by competent organisations.
Welcome in ESN world.
ESN members will be interested in The Europass Mobility!
The Europass Mobility is a record of any organised period of time (called Europass Mobility experience) that a person spends in another European country for the purpose of learning or training.
This includes for example:- a work placement in a company;
- an academic term as part of an exchange programme;
- a voluntary placement in an NGO.

2. ESNLive: ESN Cards
Winter semester has just started but it's already time to start thinking about the spring one:
NEW Deadline to order ESN Cards is 8th of NOVEMBER!
The procedure is still the same: you should write to esncard@esn.org the following info
- how many cards do you want
- all the data you want to have on the invoice
- if you want a logo on your cards, please put it in an attachment, but don't forget you can have it only if you order more than 1000 ESN cards!
Remember that 8th of November is the deadline for the payments as well.
The price? Still the same: 0.70€ per card plus sending
costs
(which are between 0.03-0.11€ per card, depending on how many you order)
The cards will be sent before 15th of January 2008 by priority post. You should get them in two weeks.
Yours,
Giorgio, Matthias, Andim, Kamila, Francesca, Agnes and
Sara.
3. Topic of the month: NO MORE CAKE?
No more Erasmus Van Tour, no more Erasmus Days, no more birthday cakes.
Sounds terrible, but all the good things have to come to an end one day (unfortunately...).
So, the Van is in Brussels waiting for its last ride to Cyprus, the cakes are
eaten, and the Final Report has been produced!!!
In long hours, all reports from Erasmus Days and the winning Erasmus experiences were read and edited, photos were chosen, voices and opinions were gathered, and an introduction and recommendations were composed. Finally, a well designed, amazing book found its way on this earth and is more than eager to be read by you.
Some copies are available at all Regional Platforms and the AGM as well as your NR should have at least one to show around.
In any case, download the report for yourself on XX Anniversary home page
or download PDF version here: Project report 20 Years of the Erasmus Programme
You might even find time to add your own experience of your fantastic time abroad:
Enjoy reading!
4. What is going on in Europe besides ESN:
ELSA world's largest independent law students' association.
The European Law Students' Association
(ELSA) is the largest
independent law
students' association. It comprises a membership close to 30, 000 students and
recent graduates who are interested in law and have demonstrated commitment to
international issues. Our members seek to follow our vision: A just world in
which there is respect for human dignity and cultural diversity, and pursue our
purpose: To contribute to legal
education, to foster mutual understanding and to promote social responsibility
of law students and young lawyers.
ELSA operates primarily through its local groups, which
are located at more than 200 universities throughout 36 countries in Europe with
National Group presence. Groups at all levels organise activities in three main
fields; Academic Activities, such as moot courts, essay
competitions, Lawyers at work events, Legal debates and Studies abroad programs.
The second area is Seminars and Conferences where study visits
and panel discussions are also organised. The Student Traineeship
Exchange Programme (STEP) is the third key area of activity, offering
Law students International Traineeships and valuable work experience. Through
our activities members acquire a broader cultural understanding and wider legal
expertise which is a steady preparation for living and working in an
international environment.
ELSA International Board.
After being elected as Board Members , we looked at each other and the first thing that crossed our mind was; we will be living together for a year in the ELSA House in Brussels, working together for the network and with the network. In a few days now, we will be in Reggio di Calabria for our first and the Network's LII International Council Meeting between the 21st and 28th October.
