ESN Nicosia, fall semester 2017 Welcome Erasmus Welcome everyone and introduce yourself. ESN Nicosia, fall semester 2017

Look at the people sitting around you. Start by telling the story of how “They often say at the universities; look at the people sitting next to you, one of them won’t be here when you’re finished. Well, let’s hope this doesn’t happen here :D”

These strangers will become your family. “But do look around, you’ll spend your time here with these people. This is one of the most beautiful things about Erasmus, how quickly people become friends and how quickly they become family.”

#Erasmus Generation “It’s important to remember that we are the first generation of people who can travel, study, and work wherever they want. It’s our responsibility to get the most out of this, to step out of our comfort zone, to explore other cultures, and to be proud to be members of the #ErasmusGeneration.”

It may sound scary… Tell them a personal story how it was scary for you as well at the beginning.

… but it will be the time of your life! Tell them there’s nothing to be afraid of though, they are going to love it.

ESN is here to help you get the most out your Erasmus. Because ESN (point at your members in the audience, make them raise a hand) is here to help you.
