ERASMUS + INTERNSHIP

European University Sports Association (EUSA) primarily offers

internship opportunities in the EUSA Office though the European

Solidarity Corps – ESC programme; and ocassionally accept unpaid

voluntary internships as well, but only upon special invitation.

The internship at EUSA is
potentially open to individuals
aged between 18 and 30, for a
set period of time. EUSA has
capabilities to host up to two
international volunteers and/or
interns at the same time.

An internship opportunity
in EUSA is a professional
learning experience that
offers meaningful, practical
work related to university
sport, education in sport and
organisation of sports events.
Throught the internship young
people are given the opportunity
for career exploration and
development, and learning
new skills. It also offers the
intern the opportunity to bring
new ideas and energy into the
workplace, develop talent and
potentially build a pipeline for a
future career.

The internship is based in
Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is not paid,
but we provide accommodation,

local transportation and

base pocket money for

subsistance. Our opportunities

and arrangements reflect the

ones described in our ESC

general profile and project

indications. We are especially

looking for individuals with

some previous skills who are

interested in getting more

experience and work in the fields

of communication and sport

management.

During 2022, EUSA Internship

position at EUSA Office in

Ljubljana, was occupied by Mr

Nathan Liegeon from France. Mr

Liegeon, started his internship

in April and finished in the

end of July. In the recap of his

internship, he expressed:

“Before I did my internship,

I first knew EUSA and the

sports university environment

from social media and their

events. But from the inside, it

was an incredible adventure

that I will never forget. I had

an amazing insight of the unity

of Europe and sport through

international projects. Working

in a multicultural environment is

a life-changing experience.

Within EUSA, I had the

opportunity to promote

sport and its values through

European projects, which

helped me to understand the

inside of European policies. I

thoroughly loved my experience

in Slovenia, next to colleagues

who are committed and truly

believe in sport as a tool to

foster education, equality, and

inclusion. Joining this incredible

team had an impact on my

career path and on the way, I

want to work in sport.

I also won’t forget my first

edition of the Games, the

European Universities Games

2022 which were held in Lodz.

I never experienced this type of

multisport event and working

for the event was an impressive

achievement of my internship –

which I thank again the whole

office for their trust. I also met

awesome people who are willing

to help – and used to – with the

organization of sports events.

Joining the EUSA Office is more

than a professional line in your

CV, you experience a human

encounter by meeting people

with the same dynamic as you.”

EUSA acknowledges the

importance of the European

funding and support in

realising such programmes

• the Erasmus+ programme
  for the internship, and the
  European Solidarity Corps for
  the volunteering programme,
  as well as the International
  University Sports Federation
  (FISU) and thank them for their
  help in our initiatives.
