ESC Tension-2 is launching the Student Toolbox, designed to foster the students’ awareness and usage of the European Student Card (ESC) across universities in Europe.

The European Student Card (ESC) is an extension of your student card that provides benefits for on and off-campus services during your time abroad, making your studies across Europe easier. With your student card, you can access all university services across Europe without needing a new card or having logistical issues, as long as your card is part of the ESC circuit. To help you understand how the card works, the ESC Tension-2 initiative, in which the Erasmus Student Network is a partner, has launched a Student Toolbox to help you navigate all the benefits available and to support you in promoting the ESC within your university community.

The ESC Tension-2 Student Toolbox collects concrete results such as awareness-raising materials, operational tools and training packages. You can dive into interactive slides, infographics and videos to discover all the ways the European Student Card can make your student life abroad smoother and more connected. Don’t forget to share your feedback in section 15! Your insights will directly shape the future of this project.

The ESC Initiative is all about students, for students. Your involvement helps to make the European Student Card more inclusive, practical and tailored to real student needs. Get involved, discover all the benefits and unlock the full potential of your student experience across Europe, because your voice can make a difference!
