Orientation Week

Orientation Week is a series events during one of the firts weeks of a semester organized specifically for students who have come to our country from different exchanges. It is always held twice a year, at the beginning of each semester. The aim of the project is to show visitors the charm of Poland, cultural life and customs, as well as visiting Gdansk and the surrounding area. In the evening, you can see the Tri-City nightlife. Foreign students have the opportunity to integrate with each other and get to know people from ESN. There are organized tours in the old town, barbecues, integration activities, all-night parties at clubs and many others. The project is not only for international students. Poles also have a chance to get to know the city and new students during walks and other activities in which they can participate. The project is an opportunity to meet people from all over the world and assist them in taking their first steps in our country.

Discover Europe

Sailing Trip

Sailing Trip is the best and the most popular project of ESN Gdańsk. The 9th edition
of this epic event will take place in 2013. It has become the flagship project of our
section, and everyone knows that the academic year without sailing is a wasted year!
 
What is Sailing trip?
 
It is the May long weekend spent in the most beautiful area of ​Poland, or I could even
say in one of the natural wonders of the world: MAZURY. It is a land of great lakes,
perfect for water sports lovers! Well, but what except the lakes? Sailing, of course!
This is what our trip is about. A few days and nights of sailing among charming
Mazury towns that may surprise us with various attractions, including well-known all
over the world Mamerki bunkers, the capital of Mazury, Mikołajki, where we can also
go to an aqua park, and lovely towns: Giżycko and Węgorzewo. ;)
 
What do we do during the Saling Trip?
 
We sail, but we already know it, and what else? First of all, bonfires, night integration
parties! We sing sea shanty songs that all of us love. We do sightseeing, get to know
each other, meet new people and integrate with students from different countries and
much more!
 
Remember that there are over 14 boats, about 100 Erasmus students and the
members of ESN Gdańsk and 1000 options for spending a great time! ;)


You just have to go to see it for yourself! ;)
 

HeL(L) SuRFiN'

HeL(L) SuRFiN' is a project carried out by ESN Gdańsk. The event is held on the Hel Peninsula in the north of Poland. It is a great opportunity to spend time practicing sports in international company. Hel Penisula (Półwysep Helski) is known for its great conditions for learning and practicing water sports such as windsurfing and kite-surfing. In May and June (when our event is held) you have the opportunity to both enjoy good weather and avoid crowds that visit Hel (this is the name of the nearby city, seriously).

We welcome to the event all members of Erasmus Student Network, Erasmus students, friends of ESN and other students.
