Thoughts from Le Cour

A post, from Leuven…

Been a while since my last post, and incidentally while writing my thoughts away, I happen to be at yet another ESU event, also termed as geeky meeting.  My geekier side has resurfaced this weekend.  There must be something about these meetings – as it inspires me to write and blog and write.  It must be the stimulating environment generated by the conscientious and diligent student leaders forming ESU’s backbone, the enthusiasm to make a difference, make effective change and see results… well, hopefully in the long term.

The ‘last’ gathering is taking place in Leuven (or Louvain), just outside Brussels.  Everywhere is white, a -3°C temperature which gets you in a mood for hot chocolate and a good book by a fireplace, at home! I like the city, very student-oriented.  I had initially intended to apply here for ERASMUS, before changing my mind and trying my luck for the European Court of Justice.  The general feeling of the meeting is also very positive, primarily revolving around knowledge sharing of the outgoing ESU Hacks with the newly elected representatives who are now taking over.  Some presentations here and there, currently preparing one on Gender Equality and why ESU gives it particular importance in relation to the Higher Education area.

But most importantly, friendships are strengthened, new friends made :) and I will move on with the hope that I have actually made some effective contribution to the student movement, while contributing to my personal growth and walk of life.

.. . more to come !



What next?
