The Erasmus Student Network is much bigger than you might expect, and we are constantly working to help students on three levels:
-
National Level
ESN Malta operates on the national level and is recognised as a National Organisation. As the National Organisation, ESN Malta plays an important role in advocating for youth and students' rights on both a national and international level. We do this by keeping up with European education politics and liaising with relevant stakeholders such as the Ministry of Education, the European Commission, the Erasmus National Agency EUPA and many more institutional partners. Through our hard work and commitment, we are recognized as one of the most vocal groups when it comes to education and youth issues.
