Dear Friends,

The European Students' Union is gearing up for its
55th Board Meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria next month. Close to 100 national
student representatives will gather to review the last 6 months of
ESU's work and to outline the priorities for the coming half year.
Ligia
Deca will be attending her first Board Meeting as Chairperson and is
looking forward to presenting the results of her work thus far: "During
the course of the last few months, we have pushed through the student
priorities in the Bologna Follow Up Group discussions and we are
fighting to put student issues in the spotlight within the Bologna
post-2010 framework. We have also made great strides into
reestablishing regional student platforms working with the UN". Read more...

ESU heading to Bulgaria for its next BM
|
ESU members will be converging on Bulgaria in the event of its 55th
Board Meeting in Sofia in late November 2008. This time, attention
will turn to the issue of Student Centered Learning and specifically,
the impact that this should have on all aspects of university life:
from curricula to governance and from the size of the classrooms to
pedagogy. Discussions will focus on how to increase student
participation, so that it goes beyond just voting in general elections,
as well as on how to ensure that students are seen as full partners in
quality evaluations, social activities, university referenda, teaching
and so on.
