Everything started with a group of wanderlust students who experienced the beauty of travelling and learning from other cultures. During their Erasmus+ exchange, some of these students came into contact with ESN sections abroad and decided to bring the ESN spirit back home - to Osijek.

That idea became reality in 2012, and in December 2025 we proudly celebrate 13 years of ESN Osijek. From our very first day until today, we have been working on broadening horizons within our local community, promoting student mobility, and improving opportunities for students who want to take their first steps abroad.

As part of the Erasmus Student Network, ESN Osijek supports international and local students by creating a welcoming environment, encouraging cultural exchange, and helping students make the most out of their mobility experience.

The Local Board is responsible for leading the section, setting goals, and ensuring the smooth functioning of ESN Osijek.

ESN Osijek is built around teamwork. Currently, our local section consists of three main teams, each playing a key role in creating unforgettable experiences for students.

Project Team

The Project Team focuses on planning and implementing different projects on our local level. This includes social, cultural, educational, and social responsibility projects that align with ESN values and support student mobility.

PR Team

The PR Team is responsible for ESN Osijek’s public image and communication. They manage social media, create visual content, write announcements, and ensure that our message reaches students clearly, creatively, and consistently.

Event Team

The Event Team brings ESN Osijek to life through events. From welcome activities to parties and cultural events, this team takes care of planning, logistics, and execution to ensure every event is memorable and inclusive.
