Breadcrumb
From November 19th to 21st, the EC2U Ambassador Training Week took place in Poitiers, gathering enthusiastic students from the partner universities of the Alliance. This event marked the beginning of their journey as EC2U Ambassadors, equipping them with the skills, connections, and inspiration needed to represent the Alliance effectively.

A week to connect, collaborate, and embrace their new roles

The training began on Tuesday, November 19th, at the University of Poitiers, where the new EC2U Ambassadors arrived in pairs from each EC2U partner university. After participating in interactive games to break the ice and get to know one another, the ambassadors engaged in three days of dynamic activities!

These sessions aimed to clarify their roles as ambassadors, deepen their understanding of EC2U’s mission and vision, and explore creative ways to promote the Alliance to their peers. They also took part in workshops focused on intercultural communication and public speaking, encouraging them to gain confidence, experiment, exchange ideas, and forge meaningful relationships with ambassadors from other universities.

The Ambassador Programme: a key role in promoting EC2U activities

Each year, two ambassadors are selected from each partner university for a one-year term, with the option to renew their positions.

As EC2U ambassadors, students act as key contact points within their universities and have the opportunity to create and lead initiatives to promote EC2U, encouraging fellow students to engage actively in its activities.

Ambassadors play an essential role on their campuses by:

  • Promoting EC2U activities and goals to students
  • Creating content for social media, website articles, etc.
  • Engaging students in EC2U events and activities

By representing the Alliance and sharing their enthusiasm, EC2U Ambassadors are vital in building a vibrant student community, strengthening connections across partner universities, and embodying the values of the EC2U network!
