Take part in the ESNsurvey 2019!
The ESNsurvey 2019 is here and is focusing on the impact of the abroad experience in the participation of international students in society. Does 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 in until 30th of April 2019!
