VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

The European University Sports Association (EUSA), in cooperation with its

Student Commission and the Organising Committees of the European Universities

Games and European Universities Championships, is offering students from

Europe, a unique opportunity of actively participation in the organisational and

hosting process of EUSA events as volunteers.

The European Universities
Games in Debrecen and Miskolc,
hosted over 800 volunteers,
both local and international, that
made a great contribution in the
success of the event.

Around 180 international
volunteers were part of the big
group of enthusiastic young
people that were engaged in
different roles, positions taking
care of different tasks, forming
this big support system for all the
participants and the Organizing
Committee, in the implementation
of the Games, in both of the cities.

The main aim of the programme
is to give a chance to individuals
who are interested in sports and
in organizing sport events to get
the opportunity of experiencing
a unique adventure, through
which they will learn about the
values of sport, gain valuable
work experience, express their

creativity, and enjoy everything

that EUSA events, as a diverse

hub of cultures and people, can

offer.

The Volunteer Program

includes working for the

organising committee,

supporting them in cooperation

fields such as: coordination,

managing information desks,

communication and media, as

well as being the link between

the OC and different groups of

people involved in the event:

athletes, officials, referees,

and other guests. Some of

the volunteers are able to

closely work with the EUSA

staff members present at the

events, divided into separate

departments.

All these positions available

for the volunteers and the

experience they get from

representing them, are building

up the volunteers’ competencies

and skills, and provide them a

certain level of knowledge in

organizing sport events at a

European level.

In the frame of the programme,

full board is provided during the

time of the event (and training),

with transfer from the official

airport/station covered, uniform,

insurance, and training. The

volunteers only must ensure their

travel costs to the event.

Moreover, after the event

finishes, a certificate of

participation will be provided,

indicating their working position

and hours, representing their

success and an additional value

to their already rich experience.

During the 7th edition of the

European Universities Games

in Debrecen and Miskolc,

the tradition of offering the

volunteers interesting activities,

workshops, and social activities

was kept, bringing added

value with the educational

opportunities throughout their

service.

Different workshops on the topic

of career, importance of sports,

mental health, dual career, legacy

in sports, youth participation,

were part of the diverse palette

of the learning process offered to

the volunteers.

In 2025, students can participate

and support the organisers

of the European Universities

Championships, including 18

events, covering 24 sports,

spread out in 8 European

countries, in different cities.
