Join ESN Zagreb and get exactly what you want!
The best part about ESN is the one where if you really want something and ask, you will most likely get it!
We know that it is difficult to find a job, work on developing your skills, travel, socialize with friends, etc. in addition to your university responsibilities. But what if we told you that all of this is possible in ESN Zagreb - an association different from the others?
Erasmus Student Network (ESN) Zagreb is a part of the largest European student organisation - Erasmus Student Network, a key volunteering organisation in international higher education. Erasmus Student Network has as many as 15 000 volunteers all over Europe, with our volunteers from Zagreb being a big part of that. ESN Zagreb, with the help of University of Zagreb, has been helping students on exchange, but also local students willing to participate in it, for 11 years now.
By joining one or two teams of ESN Zagreb - Party, Public Relations, Social Inclusion, Health & Well-being, Intercultural Exchange and Travel - you have the opportunity to make many friends, both in Croatia and all over Europe, to brainstorm and organise events for international students, to try yourself in various fields, but also to develop personally and professionally, and our Alumni member, Rebeka, told us more about that:
What has helped me the most in my current job is that I have seen what the students need outside of formal education, I feel very comfortable talking in English and I am very efficient when working in a team and prioritizing tasks. ESN offered me to try different fields, from event management to creating content for social media. I encountered many obstacles through which I often made mistakes, but through ESN I learned to accept them and get the best out of them.
You can also try different things in ESN Zagreb, but before that come to Caffe bar Dvorište on September 1st at 6 p.m. on our Info Day, where our members are waiting for you with a cup of coffee, and fill out the membership application form by September 2nd at 23:59 via the link and we'll see you at the recruitments!
All you need is... a Buddy!
Get yourself a friend for life in this new adventure!
You just came to Zagreb, unpacked your things, made yourself a nice cup of coffee, but all of a sudden it hits you... Why don't I find a nice place to go and meet other people? Well, Erasmus Student Network Zagreb got you covered!
With our ESNbuddy programme - a project that aims to assign an incoming international students with an “ESNbuddy”, a local student willing to help you to get up on your feet in your first few weeks in a new country - you should be able to find a new friend in Zagreb in no time. All you have to do is make your profile on the Papaya app and answer a few questions. Yes, it’s that easy!
#1
But, we have something else prepared for you in our sleeve. Since we want the best match for you, you have the opportunity to improve another language. If you decide to apply for Language Tandem, we will assign you a tandem partner who speaks the language that you need! In return, your partner will be interested in the languages you speak, so you'll both have the opportunity to improve them while drinking a cup of coffee or tea. And if you are more of a person who likes something very particular, we suggest you fill out a series of simple “This or That” questions to find the best buddy for you!
#2
You can apply until 31st August if you want a local friend who will show you around the city, introduce you to all the best places to visit and take you to the events that we organise! And in return, we believe that you will get a friend for life!
The International Office of the Faculty of Economics & Business, University of Zagreb is closed for the summer break. We resume with work on 24 August 2022.
