EUSS encourages students, youths and citizens to actively participate in democratic processes and decision-making at local, national, and European levels. The association organizes debates, forums, and advocacy campaigns that promote dialogue, critical thinking, and civic participation on issues such as climate change, environmental policy, and sustainable development. By engaging with policymakers and advocating for evidence-based policies, EUSS seeks to influence decision-making processes and promote greater accountability and transparency in environmental governance.
About us
Our Mission
At the European Union Students Associations, our mission is to provide enriching, educational, and engaging experiences for students across Europe through cultural city breaks, practical workshops, training programs, and meaningful internships. We aim to foster a sense of global citizenship, enhance cross-cultural understanding, and equip students with practical skills and experiences that complement their academic studies and prepare them for their future careers.
We believe in the transformative power of travel and experiential learning. Our carefully curated programs are designed to deepen students’ appreciation of European history, art, and culture, broaden their horizons, and inspire them to become lifelong learners and global thinkers. We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive community where students can explore, learn, grow, and create unforgettable memories.
