I got introduced to ESN
BelUPgrade during my second year living here. They are a non-profit
international student organisation, whose mission is to represent international
students in Belgrade
.
ESN stands for Erasmus Student
Network and it is the biggest student association in Europe. It began on
October 16, 1989 and legally registered in 1990 for supporting and
developing student exchange.
The organization works for the creation of a more flexible education environment by supporting and developing the student exchange from different levels, and providing an intercultural experience also to those students studying locally and are unable to travel.
The main focus of ESN is
placed on current exchange students, who often face problems in their new
environments. ESN offers help in the academic, social and practical integration
process of international students in Belgrade. . This is mainly done through activities
in the local sections, which include cultural and social events such as trips
to various places within the country, film nights, language projects,
international food festivals and last, but not least, parties.
