Dear Network!

Another great ICE Webinar coming your way, but this time, we are talking about: Making a Change Through Youth Engagement!

In this interactive workshop, you will have the chance to unlock your changemaking powers through the changemakers compass, which we will fill out together!  

The webinar is open to all volunteers of ESN, regardless of experience. We can all feel a little bit lost sometimes, especially with everything that is going on in the world. At times, it is nice to relax a bit, reflect, and think about how far we've come - or in our case, make a compass for all the changes we still want to achieve. 

Why should you participate?

Whether you are an experienced ESNer or a newbie just starting your journey, this session offers a bit of guidance on your path. Together, we will talk about challenges, highlight initiatives from the Network on youth engagement, and create our own changemakers compass.

Event details:

• Date: Tuesday, 10th of February 2026

• Time: 19:00 - 20:30 CET

• Where: Online, via Google Meet

To start your February right, the Youth Engagement Team is here to deliver 2 new, interactive workshops on significant topics - consider yourself warmly invited! The first one being: Active Youth: How to Engage International Students in Local Civic Life.  

On the 9th of February, we will gather together and discuss how we can better engage international students in local civic life. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, then keep reading
Who can participate?

• The webinar is open to all ESN volunteers, regardless of experience! 

• We recommend participation for Integration Coordinators, Culture Coordinators, Event Managers, and local volunteers, in short: people who work directly with international students. 

• During the workshop, we also share best practices & real-life examples from the world of ESN, offering national-level volunteers some food for thought.

Why should you participate?

Being a part of ESN means that we get to be a bridge between international students and local civic life, thus enriching their mobilities as well as the local community's life, exposing them to new ideas, new perspectives, and the European way of life. If you want some inspiration on how you can be such a bridge or help your local section become a bridge, this is your place. The webinar is also a great way to connect with other people from the network, share ideas, and best practices.
