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 established following the initiative of a group of motivated students who identified 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, intercultural exchange, and non-formal education.

The Volunteers

The volunteers of ESN Alba Iulia are dedicated, involved, and motivated students who want to make a difference within the international community. They come from various faculties and fields, but are united by 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 towards continuous learning. Volunteers participate in organizing events, promoting Erasmus+ opportunities, developing local projects, and representing the university within the national and international ESN network.

The Coordinators and Leadership Board (LB)

The department coordinators and the Leadership Board form the management structure of the section, responsible for its 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 finances. The LB handles communication with ESN Romania, the university, and external partners, ensuring transparent, efficient, and impact-oriented leadership. Together, the coordinators and section leaders create the environment in which volunteers can grow, express themselves, and actively contribute to the mission of ESN.
