Hi everyone!
I just came back from the IFISO meeting in Budapest, where I've met many other students' organization to share some knowledge.
We introduced each other NGO, we spoke about our structures and members, and how we can cooperate; we learnt from each other best practices, and we found partnership for our projects.
ESN is now working with EPSA (pharmaceutical students) and EMSA (medical students) in order to provide to all section an "Healthy Package" with useful information about health topics and good hints from students to students. (we are still on a brainstorming phase, so if you have advices please write me..)
We are also working on a partnership witn AIESEC about exchange programmes, but since everything is still undefined, I'll let you know.
Then we had a couple of workshop about how to fundraise effectively, how different NGOs deal with the gap between international and local level, how to make a succesful grant application and so on.
And also I met there the brand new Erasmus Mundus Association, our little sister organization: welcome in the NGO world! :)
