Social Impact

An international experience should be about more than just seeing the inside of the lecture halls. Do you like volunteering? Or have you heard of it before and always wanted to get involved? Great, you’re in the right place! Social Impact is an international cause of ESN that promotes a social attitude among students through fun activities throughout the year. It’s an unique opportunity for International students to bond with other international students, Dutch students and also the Dutch society.

Walk with the Elderly

Our most successful event so far, in collaboration with a local elderly house in Kralingen, every month we take a group of elderly on a walk around the lake where you can share stories with each other and simply enjoy a good afternoon walk.

Blind SpeedFriending

Speed friending but with a twist - do so while blindfolded! To raise awareness about difficulties with blindness, regularly we gather to speed friend with our eyes covered.

Beach Clean Up

To celebrate World Clean Up Day and to help the environment, ESN Rotterdam travels to close by beaches such as Hoek van Holland to not only clean the beach, but to also enjoy the walk on the beach and the view of the sea.

Cooking Workshops

Cooking does not need to be difficult and with ESN Rotterdam cooking workshops are organized to teach the students that there are plenty of easy and quick ways to make vegan dishes!

Donations

Through the whole year students are able to donate their clothes or any other usable items to the various charities and organizations that ESN Rotterdam works with, such as the Red Cross.

Spectrum Game

Inspired by famous Youtube channel Jubilee, this event thrives to spark discussions around taboo topics, such as sexuality and identity, where people can share their opinions on a spectrum of agreeableness
