To commemorate this anniversary, Erasmus Student Network Slovakia in cooperation with Slovak Academic Association for International Cooperation decided to organize together an Erasmus Week. During this Erasmus Week, there are various activities being planned in several cities around Slovakia, being organised by Slovak and international students.
Programme Erasmus (European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) began in 1987. This programme was initiated by European Commision in order to enable students to study and work beyond the borders of their home countries. More than 4000 HEI’s from 34 countries are involved in the programme. Every year more than 200 000 students spend their period abroad, lasting from 3 to 10 months.
ESN Slovakia (Erasmus Student Network Slovakia) is a non-profit students organisation, which represents interests of international students on 16 HEI’s of 7 cities in Slovakia. ESN offers space for trans-cultural understanding and self-development under main principle “Students helping students!”. Their aim is to work for all students spending part or whole period of their studies at HEI’s in Slovakia.
