In the recap of their journey
with EUSA, this is what they
expressed:
“I had a great working
experience at the European
University Sports Association.
I was pleased with how much
I had discovered about the
field of sports and myself
that I encountered throughout
my 7-month period. I feel
comfortable saying that the
EUSA offers many opportunities
for volunteers even after the
volunteering period, so I am
really grateful for EUSA.” – said
Kinga.
“Volunteering for EUSA has
given me the chance to confirm
my passion for sports and its
management. In my case, I
came to EUSA to switch the
direction of my professional
career, and after seven months
I can say that my expectations
were exceeded“. – said Pol.
“Volunteering at EUSA was an
amazing experience that has
definitely improved both my
personal and professional skills
and expertise through various
activities ranging from daily
office work to being a part of
several EU project meetings,
conferences, and sporting
events, including the European
Universities Championships.
This experience has truly shaped
my perspective and solidified
my passion for pursuing a
successful career in sports.“-
said Cristina.
Two months later, in the
beginning of October, EUSA
welcomed 4 new European
Solidarity Corps volunteers,
Marta Studzinska from Poland,
Emanuele Milanese from Italy,
Heloise Bargeot from France
and Jennifer Campbell from the
United Kingdom.These four young individuals
will learn, assist and experience
the daily EUSA activities in the
EUSA Office and especially work
and learn from the process of
preparing and executing the
European Universities Games in
Debrecen-Miskolc 2024.Trying to recap the already
spent few months with EUSA
Office, here is what they’ve said:My first months at EUSA is
already enriching and raises
the challenge that I have been
working on, especially the one
with the English language. To
have the possibility to develop
in a multicultural environment
and kindness allows me to
progress my vision in the sport
domain. I had the chance to work
on the MOOC for inclusion in
sport with the other volunteers,
where we had an exchange
of our visions and discovered
some situations in the countries
of everybody. Thanks to this, I
could have a more global vision
in Europe of this topic. I’m so
excited to see the other months,
especially to continue to help on
other projects and to organize
and experience the Games in
Debrecen-Miskolc. – said Heloise.My time here has given me so
many amazing experiences,
friends and opportunities.
Working at EUSA has been
extremely enjoyable, working
with a supportive and
welcoming team. From day dot, I
have been treated as part of the
team and the EUSA family. My
highlight of working at EUSA,
has been working first hand with
their many important projects,
especially their iSport project,
working on inclusion in sport,
as something I feel passionate
about. – said Jennifer.My experience as an ESC
volunteer at EUSA is going
further, and time is passing fast.
It has already been a couple of
months since I arrived, now I feel
I know the city and its people a
lot, I feel more integrated into
Slovene culture and lifestyle,
and most importantly, I feel
more connected to the other
volunteers and to my colleagues
at work. I also had the chance
to meet other volunteers during
a youth camp and during the
on-arrival training organized by
MOVIT, it was a nice experience
and I felt grateful for that. In the
upcoming months, I expect that
I will get to know even more in
detail the activities and projects
of EUSA and I hope I can
contribute more to its mission. –
said Emanuele.My experience in EUSA has so
far been truly fulfilling. In just
the first three months, time
has flown by as I’ve immersed
myself in developing mediaand communication skills
and thoroughly enjoyed the
collaborative office environment.
One of the most memorable
aspects of my ESC journey
was on-arrival training – an
adventure that not only
prepared me for the challenges
ahead, but also let me make
new friends. Reflecting on this
short yet impactful period, I have
to admit that my experience
has been a journey of learning,
exploration, and pure happiness.
I couldn’t be more grateful to be
here, and I am waiting for what
the next few months with EUSA
will bring. – said Marta.The recruitment period for
new volunteers is officially
announced and realised only
once per year, usually at the
beginning of the year, and we
only accept applications for
volunteering in the EUSA Office
during the announced calls.
For short term volunteering
opportunities, please see the
EUSA international volunteer
programme which is carried

organising committees of
the European Universities
