Annual Report 2017/2018
T
he values on which Europe is based are very dear to the Erasmus Generation. Free movement, the shared cultural heritage, or the trust in one another are examples of what brings together
this generation with no age nor territory. In 2017-2018, ESN has proudly represented those that share this vision for society and the values in which it is based, contributing to several debates and reflections on the European project. With this mission in mind, and while effusively celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Erasmus Programme, we have enquired current and former Erasmus students about their views on the programme. This process led to the creation of the #ErasmusUpgrade Manifesto, a document that outlines a vision for Erasmus+, serving as a starting point for informed debates at all levels. This year we have also successfully concluded, for example, the HousErasmus+ and MappED! projects, contributing with recommendations on how to improve the quality of student mobility. This was also an year of internal reflection. Acknowledging the need for a reform, ESN volunteers across all countries have dreamed about the structure and brand of our network, a debate that will continue next year. To maximise the impact of our activity we have systemised our work around six thematic fields which we are publicly presenting for the
JoĂŁo Pinto President of the Erasmus Student Network
first time in this publication. This reflection also aims at reaching out to more people, an ambition that has been at the centre of our strategy this year. We are now working with the European Social Fund and with Vocational Education and Training to develop activities that can be inclusive to more audiences. Through an ambitious development of our platform ErasmusIntern.org, we started promoting digital opportunities and Erasmus+ traineeships across the world. As members of the Stakeholders’ Committee of the European Year of Cultural Heritage, we are bringing the sector closer to the Erasmus Generation. In this annual report we highlight these and other important achievements that our proud volunteers have achieved in one year. We are thankful to all those that have worked with us and look forward to continue building the Erasmus project together with you.

Annual Report 2017/2018
30th Anniversary of the Erasmus+ Programme Since its birth in 1987 the Erasmus Programme gave the opportunity to experience living and learning abroad to 9 million and grew to offer a large number of additional opportunities to individuals and organisations. The 30th Anniversary of Erasmus+ was celebrated across many countries and institutions. In June 2017 during a conference in Strasbourg the Erasmus+ App was launched signifying the transformation the programme underwent in 30 years. The celebrations concluded in December with an event in BOZAR in Brussels full of performances and inspiring testimonials. JoĂŁo Pinto, the President of ESN joined the panel with Martine Reicherts, Director-General for Education and Culture and Hywel Ceri Jones, one of the founders of the Programme. All around Europe, ESN volunteers organised hundreds of events to celebrate the Anniversary including debates, flag parades and even a bus tour around the country. Online, the #HumansOfErasmus campaign uncovering the human side of Erasmus was curated by ESN.

ESN’s vision for the future of Erasmus+ The Manifesto is based on input gathered through an online questionnaire with over 1,000 answers, face-toface consultations with volunteers from across ESN’s 40 member-countries and contributions from International Relations Offices.
10
Following over 2 years of consultations, on the 27th of April, the Erasmus Student Network released the #ErasmusUpgrade Manifesto which contains 13 recommendations to improve the successor of the Erasmus+ Programme. The document has been presented during a Press Conference with representatives of the European Commission and translated into different languages by ESN education experts. The manifesto targets all involved in the conceptualisation and implementation of the Erasmus+ programme, specifically the European Institutions, National Authorities, higher education institutions, and the participants in the programme. Its results are the base of ESN’s stands on the international and national level in the context of upcoming discussions on the funding and shape of the Erasmus+ successor programme.

Quality internships & digital opportunities The past year brought a steady and significant growth of over 30% to ErasmusIntern.org - an online platform that brings together traineeship providers and students seeking a training opportunity abroad. Since 2018, ErasmusIntern features Digital Opportunity Traineeships – an EU-funded training initiative aimed to equip young people with skills needed for the fast-changing world and help companies fill vacancies with digitally competent candidates. At the same time, ESN pays close attention to the quality of internships. Through a validation system for Recruiters and integration with CAPQI (Collective Awareness Platforms for Quality Internships) project, we aim at improving the experience for young people entering the job market. With the Erasmus+ Traineeships soon expanded to partner countries ESN looks forward to providing even more international students with quality internship opportunities.
Currently ErasmusIntern brings together 65,700 active users and 13,200 open internship offers.

Partnership with Pernod Ricard reaffirmed We believe that the Erasmus Generation must be the symbol of a healthy lifestyle, becoming themselves ambassadors of a healthier Europe.
Highlights
On the 24th of January ESN and Pernod Ricard renewed their partnership for 8th consecutive year before an engaging panel debate “Smart prevention works: encouraging European students to adopt a responsible way of life” co-organised with Euractiv in Brussels. In 2017, the Responsible Party program was the subject of an independent evaluation. The study highlighted the relevance and efficiency of the project. After collecting the testimonies of more than 30,400 program participants, 88% of them found the initiative useful and almost two thirds modified their alcohol-related habits. The partnership has been revitalised with the commitment of Pernod Ricard and ESN to contribute United Nations’ Sustainable Developments Goals, particularly good health & wellbeing. We believe that the Erasmus Generation must be the symbol of a healthy lifestyle, becoming themselves ambassadors of a healthier Europe.

HousErasmus+ research concluded The research was based on over 8000 replies from all over Europe, 10 study visits, 4 regional conferences and stakeholder discussions.
14
Between 2015 and 2017 ESN together with partners has conducted the biggest research on international student accommodation in Europe. The HousErasmus+ project brought together key stakeholders in the field, with the research itself was coordinated by the European University Foundation. The final conference took place in September in Brussels presenting project outcomes, including a comprehensive research report and Recommendation & Good Practice Booklet. The thorough research proves that almost half of Erasmus+ mobile students found local housing difficult and 12% even reported attempts of fraud. Despite big regional differences, no overarching housing policy for international students exist. With lack of financial resources often preventing young people from experiencing international exchanges, housing becomes a major challenge constituting majority of the expenses. ESN is committed to work towards finding sustainable solutions in the field and cooperating for the benefit of international students.
Annual Report 2017/2018
ESN recognised in multiple contests In 2017/18 ESN has been shortlisted 7 times in multiple contests and was awarded Silver for the Overall Best European Association.
Highlights
The efforts of ESN volunteers and the headquarters have been recognised in multiple contests. At the 2018 European Association Awards ESN has been awarded Silver for the Overall Best European Association. The Judging Panel described ESN as “A great association that represents the young students of Europe.” Additionally, ESN has been shortlisted for the Eduk8 training programme promoting social inclusion through NFE and the cooperation between Erasmus Student Network and Ryanair. The PIEoneer Awards, recognising excellence in international education, shortlisted MappED! in 2017 as the Digital innovation of the year and ESN as Association of the year in the upcoming 2018 contest. Individually, two prominent ESN members have been acknowledged in Women of Europe Awards organised by European Movement International and the European Women’s Lobby. Safi Sabuni and Carmen Mazijn have been shortlisted respectively as Woman in Youth Activism and Woman in Action.

Volunteering for a more inclusive Europe ESN believes that also exchange students can benefit from volunteering to enhance their language skills, intercultural competences and overall abroad experience. These activities enrich the community at large by bringing beneficiaries of the Erasmus+ programme, as ambassadors of European values, closer to their host communities. With the success of our long standing SocialErasmus programme, we committed even more to this cause in the SocialErasmus+ project which aims to increase the number of exchange students taking part in voluntary work. In May ESN also successfully organised the conference “Fostering Active Citizenship Through Erasmus� at the European Parliament. The panelists came from the European Commission, the European Parliament, and other civil society organisations. With the submission of a Pilot Project to the European Parliament this might soon translate into a new action for Erasmus+.
16
Mobility accessible to everyone ESN has been actively tackling the worryingly low number in the participation of students with disabilities in mobility programmes - only 0.15% for Erasmus+ in 2014. Through MappED! project together with disability expert organisations we aim to provide equal opportunities to students with disabilities for their participation in exchange programmes. The project concluded in August 2017 with the final conference, where the web portal and mobile application was shown and Best Practices booklet for better cooperation between International Relation Offices and Disability Offices as well as recommendations for policy makers were released. ESN advocates for accessible mobility for example through a discussion between Members of the European Parliament, representatives of the European Commission and ESN members 2017 on how to make Erasmus + more inclusive which took part in December. Currently ESN develops an alliance to unite relevant stakeholders in making student exchanges more accessible for people with disabilities.

Digital future for international exchanges
EAIE Conference in Sevilla
Inefficient administration and bureaucracy are one of the challenges which the Erasmus+ programme has to face before its expansion. Together with key stakeholders in European consortia such as the European University Foundation ESN is ensuring a digital future for mobility programmes. Erasmus Without Paper 2.0 project connects university information systems while the Online Learning Agreement+ offers an intuitive, user-friendly platform which replaces the traditional, paper version of the Erasmus+ Learning agreement. The Erasmus+ app, which displays useful tips, local ESN events and is compatible with the OLA has already been downloaded more than 40,000 times.
Among 6000 participants from 95 countries who attended the EAIE, Europe’s most important international higher education conference, Erasmus Student Network was represented by 4 members. During 4 days, the participants had the chance to participate in discussions, debates, keynotes, poster sessions and workshops on a variety of topics. ESN’s contribution focused on the digital future of Erasmus+, inclusion of students with disabilities and housing situation of international students. We presented how the Online Learning Agreement, MappED! and HousErasmus+ projects can solve those challenges and make the exchange programmes easier, more inclusive and accessible. Through our presence, ESN confirmed its valuable place in the landscape of higher education.

AGM Costa Brava
ESNreview
In March 2018 around 900 young people gathered in Costa Brava for ESN’s general assembly – the Annual General Meeting. Representatives of ESN sections have re-elected the International Board members for a second mandate and decided on the future of the network. In-between the plenary sessions, ESN volunteers had the opportunity to develop their competences through various workshops, take part in a fair with representatives of hundreds of European universities and companies and experience the Spanish culture. Finally, almost a thousand of participants walked hand in hand waving the colours of their flags high in an impressive and cheerful Flag Parade.
In 2016, in order to manage the foreverincreasing amount of volunteers, sections and member countries as well as activities and services for students and a rapidly changing higher education landscape a structural review of the organisation has begun. After an assessment of ESN’s structures and organisational processes by external evaluators a task force has been set up to implement recommendations outlined in the review report. Although the majority of delegates voted in favour of the intensely discussed proposal, the percentage necessary to change the statutes has not been reached. As more discussion follows and the governance structure is ironed out, the International Board remains committed to implement consensual structural changes and ensure sustainable future for the organisation.

Social Inclusion Days
ESNvolunteer Survey
For the first time volunteers of the Erasmus Student Network came together to join the Social Inclusion Days - an initiative for a cause of social inclusion through volunteering. Every semester for two weeks international students were provided with opportunities to contribute to improving society, engage local communities and join inclusive events In total, more than 26300 young people participated in over 1100 events in 31 countries, taking part in activities such as food drives and donations, fundraisers, clothes donations, animal shelter visits, school or kindergarten sessions, events with people with disabilities, educational workshops, conferences or even an impressive beach cleaning and many more events that promote social inclusion.
In order to strengthen and improve the volunteering experience in ESN, in 2018 for the first time ever the ESNvolunteer Survey has been launched. This internal research initiative in the field of human resources is open to everyone and is intended to obtain more insight into motivation and satisfaction, well-being and personal and professional development of ESN volunteers. Aside from research, the initiative allows for a self-reflection on individual volunteering experience and personal and professional growth. The survey kick-starts the development of long-term HR strategy for the whole organisation and will improve this experience for the generations of ESN members to come.

ESN benefits greatly from public grants supporting both project and administrative costs. These predominantly come from the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the Belgian state. Unlike many NGOs comparable to ESN a majority of incomes do not come from public grants supporting operating expenses, but rather from commercial partnerships, projects and membership fees. This represents a strategic cornerstone of ESN: to be self-sustainable and independent. A notable increase is seen in sponsorship income, with the acquisition of strong new partners and a reaffirmation of existing partnerships. Besides the costs of a growing Secretariat, other major cost components are services for the network and costs related to events/meetings. The latter includes external representation and support to the vast amount of internal conferences organised within the network. Lastly, headquarter costs are needed for ESN’s strong presence in Brussels with both an office and a house.

Introduction The causes of ESN Social Inclusion
Skills & Employability
ESN strives for an inclusive mobility based on equity and on the needs of each individual. To achieve this goal, ESN has developed its own programmes and projects on the topic, raising awareness among international students and transforming them into more active citizens.
International students get valuable skills from their experience abroad. ESN works to increase the recognition of the skills acquired through student exchange and volunteering among employers.
Environmental Sustainability
Culture
International mobility has a costly impact in the environment due to frequent travelling. ESN aims at reducing this impact by organising greener activities and by raising awareness among international students.
Besides being a member of the Stakeholders’ Committee of the European Year of Cultural Heritage, ESN organises hundreds of cultural activities every year. The promotion of intercultural understanding is at the core of ESN’s mission.
Health & Well-being
Education & Youth
Studying abroad is an opportunity to acquire new and healthy habits such as practicing sport activities or having a balanced diet. ESN organises several events on the topic and works to raise the health literacy of international students.
Education is the core of ESN’s activity and youth is the main target group. ESN produces several positions, recommendations, programmes, and projects all aiming at improving the quality of international mobility and at guaranteeing that young people are heard in the process.

Students can search for traineeships by keywords and refine their search. At the same time, companies and organisations can publish their traineeship offers and search for trainees using precise filters. Digital Opportunity Traineeships have been integrated into the platform providing young people with a chance to develop skills most needed on today’s job market.

172,600 ESNcard holders benefit from over 1,500 discounts around Europe.
Aim: • Provide access to all services and discounts offered by ESN and our partners to international students. The ESNcard is the membership card of the Erasmus Student Network. Used also as a student discount card, it is distributed by the ESN sections in almost all the countries where ESN is present. The project consists of the online platform ESNcard.org and the ESNcard itself. International students can benefit from a wide range of discounts on the international, national and local level from renowned companies to local businesses and institutions. ESN’s partnership with Ryanair has benefitted over 200.000 international students and allowed them to save over 6 million Euro since September 2017.
Alongside a buddy-matching application, the project aims at the creation of corresponding guidelines and recommendations.
Aims: • Create a universal platform for matching international and local students • Develop recommendations and guidelines to support the implementation of the process BuddySystem is a project coordinated by Erasmus Student Network France. The project, which will run until 2020, builds on ESN’s experience in supporting exchange students by pairing them with a local mentor or buddy. This process fosters internationalisation at home as well as integration of international students into local community and often leads to developing lasting friendships. The main goal is to create a universal system for buddy matching across Europe. Additionally the project will develop recommendations, a handbook with factsheets and guidelines for national organisations which will manage the BuddySystem.

External Relations
As Europe’s biggest network of student organisations, it is important to be in contact with other organisations that share similar interests and offer opportunities for networking and best-practice sharing. ESN has been involved with a range of (umbrella) organisations and fostered collaboration through the Liaison Office and the International Committee for Education. As for stakeholders, the most important for ESN is the Erasmus+
40
Unit of the European Commission. ESN provides support in the implementation of the Erasmus+ programme and helps disseminating information about its features. As member of the Stakeholders’ Committee of the European Year of Cultural Heritage, ESN works with the Culture Unit to bring closer the Erasmus Generation and cultural heritage. ESN also works with the Youth, Vocational Education and Training, and European Social Fund units of
the European Commission as a way to reach out to more people that can benefit from ESN’s services and support. The European Parliament, in particular its Youth Intergroup, has supported ESN’s advocacy for an inclusive Erasmus+ that also provides more opportunities for volunteering. ESN also collaborates with the Council of Europe through a work plan, an operating grant, thematic Study Sessions, and engagement on the Advisory Council on Youth.

Marketing Supporters, Media and Strategic Partners
ESN is also supported in different ways by other corporations and organisations.

ESNcard
Premium Partners
Our mission is to deliver better opportunities to international students. However mobility comes at a certain price and it is frequently an obstacle that deprives the youth from achieving their goals. In order to battle this significant issue, we decided to join forces with corporate partners through our ESNcard project. We cooperate with companies that are willing to provide quality products and services at affordable prices. At the same time, these companies gain unique access to the short-lived market niche of mobile students.
With a 128% growth in visitors in the past year, the ESNcard platform ďŹ rmly enters the future awaiting growing partnerships and new developments.

Marketing Cooperation
#MobilityIsMyLifestyle Competition Mov’in Europe is an international programme of ESN started in 2014, running a multi-format campaign promoting various mobility opportunities to young people, students, and young graduates to study, work & volunteer abroad. To inspire the youth to travel and celebrate the European Year of Cultural Heritage we have taken up the challenge to organise a competition with the prize being a trip around Europe. The contestants needed to submit a 1-minute Instagram video answering the question: “How does mobility contribute to intercultural understanding?”.
We have teamed up with Ryanair, Hostelling International and Dr. Walter to create an unforgettable experience with travel, accommodation and insurance costs covered. 2 winners embarked on a two-week journey through 5 European cities - Milano, Kraków, London, Budapest & Barcelona - visiting heritage sites, benefiting from ESNcard discounts and exploring the local culture. The whole experience was documented in pictures daily and shared on Mov’in Europe channels. The results exceeded both last year’s edition and our expectations!
