Dear readers, Summer is almost over and it's time to start a
new academic year, hopefully full of new opportunities to grow and to
make a difference. We are looking forward to meeting you at our 30th Student Convention in Brussels and we are excited to start new interesting projects, which will hopefully help students across Europe have better access to quality education. We will continue to keep an eye on policies that go against student rights, such as increasing restrictions for non-EU students in UK - an anti-immigration law that forces non-EU students to leave the country upon graduation. Moreover the potential influence of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
on the education sector in EU is still unclear. Between rising
anti-immigration discourses and talks of commodification of higher
education, we need to continue to stand in unity if we are to support
equal opportunities for all as well as inter-cultural dialogue and
social cohesion. We wish you a pleasant reading!
Best wishes to all,
ESU team

on similar campaigns developed by both, the European Students' Union

more promising. Out of 13 Autonomous Communities where elections were
held, nine governments that signed the campaign's manifesto have been
formed.
the Innovation and Business Center Mektory in Tallinn, to take part in
a conference on development of lifelong learning. As a result the
national student unions of the Baltic States came to an agreement on
recommendations for the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian governments
for developing the lifelong learning strategy.
