Dear Friends,
|
As I am entering my last month of work in the European students'
movement, I can happily say that where my story ends, many new stories
are beginning. ESU has elected a new team, to be lead by Ligia Deca
with whom I have already had the opportunity to work with for the past
six months. With the new team, ESU's new working structures are coming
into place with more elected representatives in Brussels. One
innovation is the creation of a student union development committee
that will actively support the formation and development of national
unions of students. More...

| An Introduction to New ESU Policy

ESU is pleased to announce that members recently amended and
approved a number of policy papers presented to them by ESU elected
representatives. These policy papers will help dictate ESU positions on
the topics covered. Four Policy Papers were adopted - Gender Equality, Excellence, The Future of Higher Education and Mobility. The
policy paper on Gender Equality gives an interesting perspective on the
work that the Gender Equality committee has achieved over the last 2 years, informing fellow elected reprsentatives and
member organizations on not only the importance of gender equality but
also on the best ways to implement it. More...

A New Generation
|
ESU held it's 54th Board meeting in Brusno, Slovakia from May 9th-11th.
Organised by Slovak's National Union, SRVS, 150 participants from our
member unions spent three days deciding on the future of their umbrella
organisation. Not least was the important matter of electing the future
generation of volunteers who would represent ESU during 12 months
starting in July this year. New structures passed at the 53rd Board Meeting in Vilnius,
Lithuania in December last year, meant that the new elected bodies
would be significantly different, as you can read in this month's
editorial.
