Join the next EC2U Forum!

The selection call is open for 14 students of the University of Pavia who will participate, together with the Unipv delegation, in the next EC2U forum at the University of Poitiers, in France, from 16 to 19 October 2023.

The EC2U Forum is an event that takes place every six months, to bring together students, staff, citizens, local authorities, to strengthen the dialogue on pressing European social issues and share good practices. The University of Poitiers is coordinator of the EC2U Alliance and will host the Forum in October, to celebrate the refinancing of the Alliance and the start of its second phase, full of novelties.

The Forum program is designed with students for students and focuses on fostering intercultural and interdisciplinary exchanges. The selected students will participate in public sessions of the forum, dedicated to the objectives and results on which EC2U focuses, mainly related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGS).

They will also take part in activities designed specifically for them, this year mainly focused on the theme of gender equality, but also dedicated to sport and well-being and care for the environment. Social activities organized by ESN Poitiers and the EC2U Students Poitiers association are also planned for them. Finally, they will have the opportunity to reflect on the concerns and needs of young European students and to make their voices heard at the public conference "The voice of students" at the end of the Forum.
