Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is organising the Social Inclusion Days initiative during which more than 500 local associations in 41 countries will advocate for inclusive mobility programmes and will organise activities to bring together international students and local communities through volunteering.

The two-week initiative, running from the 20th of November until the 4th of December 2019, will also provide opportunities for international students to expand their knowledge of their host countries’ cultures. While experiencing their Erasmus+ exchange, young people will take part in impactful activities focusing on social inclusion, from visits to local schools and nursing homes to awareness events. ESN volunteers will use their knowledge to inspire social change and unite people from all different backgrounds and ages. 

Last year, 19,100 international students engaged with more than 40,800 members of their local communities with the help of 2,400 ESN volunteers!
