Packing your things and jumping into a new experience abroad is all about travelling, culture and friends and we want you to enjoy your mobility at its fullest from the very beginning to its end.

That's why we plan a full Welcome Week to walk you through your first steps in your host city, exploring Catania's streets and tasting its rich cuisine. But what about the rest of the year?

  • Meeting up for language tandems since a lovely chat is the easiest way to get to know new buddies while learning about other cultures through language exchange, board games and quizzes
  • Our Tuesdays are all about  MartESN, our weekly appointment with fun: you just pick a teammate and play together to the last cup. Will you get a drink? One of our gadgets? Or your ESN Catania's t-shirt?
  • Setting cineforums to enjoy movies together and discuss social injustice topics in an active and entertaining way; all movies are in Italian with English subtitles, to help you learning the language. 
  • Activities aimed at raising environmental sustainability awareness and social inclusion to take care of and integrate into the community and grow as better European citizens
  • Getting together to play sports, since you really need to unwind and channel your energies into physical activities sometimes... maybe challenging international students from other cities at the NEG!
  • Ever heard about ICE? EN? NSB? We'll go to trips and parties to discover more about Sicilian and Italian nature, culture and cuisine and collect memories you'll keep with you forever! 

 

Just go through the pages of our website to find out more! 

 

Last but not least...are you an outgoing student? We've been there pal! We can help you to find all the infos and the courage boost you need! We strongly believe in the potential of the ERASMUS+ project and will be there for you to hop on the Erasmus Generation train with us:

  • find out more about Il Tuo Erasmus con ESN, ESN Italy's contest giving you the opportunity to win an additional scholarship to support your mobility
  • join us and take part to the Erasmus at home experience as an ESN volunteer: the perfect recipe to get ready for your departure and overcome your post-erasmus blues!
