NATIONAL LEVEL

On national level ESN members are active in National Boards (NBs), which means that they act not only as a link between the local and the international level, but also as a binding force in a country.
They organize national events, national parties and, most importantly, National Platforms. During these platforms, which are usually organized a few times a year, all sections from a certain country come together to discuss all issues concerning ESN. New members are for example accepted during these platforms.
As members of the Boards, National Representatives inform the sections about what is happening internationally, and provide the International Board with feedback from the sections.

LOCAL LEVEL

Under the principle of SHS - Students Helping Students, the mission of 289 ESN Sections, the core of ESN, is to foster student mobility in respective Higher Education Institutions by providing prospective, current and former exchange students with help, support and guidance for making a success out of their stay abroad.
Local Sections are offering daily assistance to over 150.000 exchange students, provided before and during the stay abroad. They are often supported by their academic authorities, helping them practically in creating for all international students a flourishing exchange environment.
Each ESN Section is usually run by a Board composed normally at least of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary and a Treasurer. In addition, many volunteers are helping the Sections in their diverse offer of excursions, lectures and many other activities.
