How the ESN Alba Iulia Section Was Formed
ESN Alba Iulia was founded out of the desire to create an active and united community of international and local students at the “1 Decembrie 1918” University. The section was formed following the initiative of a motivated group of students who noticed the need for support, integration and development for young people participating in Erasmus+ mobility programs. With the support of the International Relations Department and the national ESN Romania network, the section was officially accredited and began organizing its first activities dedicated to integration, interculturality and non-formal education.
The Volunteers
The volunteers of ESN Alba Iulia are dedicated, involved students who are motivated to make a difference in the international community. They come from various faculties and fields, but they share the same values: initiative, cultural openness and the desire to support international students during their experience in Romania. The team is diverse, dynamic and oriented toward continuous learning. The volunteers take part in organizing events, promoting Erasmus+ opportunities, developing local projects and representing the university within the national and international ESN network.

Coordinators and the Leadership Board (LB)
The department coordinators and the Leadership Board are the section’s leadership structure, responsible for strategic direction, internal functioning and organizational development. They coordinate the key activities of ESN Alba Iulia, from events, HR and PR to IT, partnerships and finance. The LB handles communication with ESN Romania, with the university and with external partners, ensuring transparent, efficient and impact-oriented leadership.
