ESN SURVEY EDITION 2009!

Topic of the month

International Board has a new EVS volunteer!

My name is Gosia, I'm 19 years old and I'm the new EVS here in Brussels!

I am from ESN Gdansk section, and although I am in the ESN for not so long I am happy to dedicate myself to it! :)

I already had some nice days in the capital of Europe and I think living and working here will be simply great experience!

If you want to contact Gosia write an e-mail to evs@esn.org

Europe besides ESN

EurObama contest

Don't hope for change... BE the change!

Are there young EurObamas out there?

Europe is in need of your voices, your fresh faces and ideas for the big challenges of today: climate change, social conflict, growing poverty, etc. This is why the AtmosphEUROPA contest for young leadership talent from minorities of any kind is being launched.

If you are under 30 and of a minority background and live in Europe, this talent contest could be for you. We invite you to not just wait for change, but to follow Gandhi's advice and BE the change you want to see in the world.

The time is now to unleash your talent and shine your light!
