24–25 July 2025 | TU Berlin & Europa Experience Berlin

The EU Immersive Project brings Europe closer to young people – by letting them explore, debate, and shape the EU’s future together. Funded by the European Union under Partnerships for Cooperation, the project creates spaces where students use innovative tools and interactive activities to rethink European education, mobility, and international cooperation.

Now ESN Ukraine invites you to join a two-day international conference in Berlin to explore how Ukraine contributes to European academic life, how students can influence cross-border cooperation, and how mobility programmes can be reimagined in times of change.

Whether you are a full-time student or on Erasmus+, this is your chance to connect with peers, exchange perspectives, and work on actionable ideas for a stronger, more inclusive academic Europe.

Why join?

  • Work with Ukrainian students (both those studying in Ukraine and abroad) to compare experiences and develop best practices for Ukrainian universities’ internationalisation.
     
  • Dive into interactive workshops, group sessions, and debates on higher education reform and student mobility.
     
  • Take part in a Model EU Parliament simulation at the Europa Experience Berlin and explore European political processes through role play and cooperation.
     
  • Enjoy cultural evenings and networking sessions over Ukrainian dinners, with music and traditions closing each day of the conference.
     

This conference is designed for students and young changemakers who want to co-create a vision for European education and mobility, especially as Ukraine moves closer to the EU.
