EUSA INTERNATIONAL
VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME
Through the work of the EUSA Student Commission, the Organising
Committees of EUSA events, and with the support from the International
University Sports Federation (FISU), EUSA was able to offer students
from around Europe a unique opportunity to participate as part of the
organisation of EUSA events as international EUSA volunteers.
Throughout the summer of
2019, international volunteers
were present across the 21
EUSA European Universities
Championships, assisting the
local organising teams and the
local volunteers. The main aim
of the volunteer programme
is to give students who are
interested in sports and in
organising sport events the
chance to experience a unique
adventure, to meet new people
from different countries, learn
about the values of sport, and
gain valuable work experience
through volunteering.
The programme includes
working areas within the fields
of media, communication,
transport, accommodation and
of course in sports venues, all
the while assisting organisers,
referees and the participants
themselves. All this in the
context of an international sport
event, where the volunteers are
able to network and improve
their future opportunities
through like-minded people
as well as having an enjoyable
time! The only thing the
volunteers have to organise
is their travel to and fromthe official airport/station of
the event. From there, local
organisers will provide internal
transport, full accommodation
and meals for the duration of
the event, and along with having
an amazing time at the event,
the organisers will provide them
with a certificate indicating the
working position and hours.We are once again looking for
local, national, and international
volunteers in 2020 and 2021.
Potential volunteers are
encouraged to register their
interest online. If you are unsureabout applying, we urge you
