The *ESNsurvey 2019* is here and is focusing on the *impact of the abroad

going abroad make students more engaged at a political, civil, and social
level? What are the particular aspects of active citizenship gained through
the abroad experience? Does this have an impact on their opinion about the
European Union, as the entity that finances the Erasmus+ Programme? And on
their voting behaviour? How do these elements interact with each other?
*Make sure to fill it here <https://esn.org/survey2019> in until 30th of
April 2019!*
