What are we going to do?
The ESN national activity is a very big trip with lots of possibilities. Here are some of the things that we organize together with the national board of ESN The Netherlands and the local Dutch ESN sections.
The activities
Various cultural events will be organized for you by the different ESN branches. A delicious supper with local delicacies, museum tours, city activities, or excursions to spectacular destinations are just a few ideas. Nothing is required; simply join the activities you enjoy!
Accommodation
The goal is to meet and get to know Erasmus students from all over the globe. As a result, everyone will be housed in a big hostel in the city.
Parties
What is the best way to mix a lot of people together? Throw a massive party! Every night, all Erasmus students will get together at a local venue and dance through the night!
