Representatives from the Estonian National Agency and Estonian Universities visited VSE

On Monday October 24th VSE welcomed representatives from the Estonian National Agency and several Estonian Universities who joined a study trip organizes by the Czech National Agency DZS. The main topic was PR and promotion of Erasmus+ program. 

VSE International Office presented its activities focused on increasing the awareness of exchange possibilities and motivation to study abroad among VSE students. Important tools for sharing information about study abroad possibilities are International Office social media (Facebook VSE Study Abroad a Instagram vse_studyabroad) where stories of students who are currently abroad are presented (takeovers, reposts, testimonials…). The main goal is to show that a semester abroad is very enriching experience which is (also thanks to Erasmus+ programme) available to all VSE students. 

One of presented PR activities was a photocontest open to all students who studies abroad during the last academic year. The latest round is now being evaluated and the exhibition of selected photos will take place in Atrium RB in November – see here. 

Estonian colleagues were also introduced to social media activities (Instagram vseinternationalstudents) aimed at attracting incoming students both for exchange and degree programs.
