UHK at the Erasmus Generation Meeting Ancona 2025

Our student organization, ESN Hradec Králové, represented the University at the Erasmus Generation Meeting 2025 (EGM), held from April 3 to 6 in the picturesque city of Ancona, Italy.
The Erasmus Generation Meeting is Europe's largest student-led conference on international mobility, organized annually by the Erasmus Student Network. This year’s edition brought together over 1,200 participants from more than 45 countries, including students, young professionals, and representatives from higher education institutions and international organizations.
The main theme of EGM 2025 was "Empowering Youth as Changemakers of Society", focusing on the importance of youth participation, community engagement, and the transformative power of volunteering in higher education.
Karolína Macháčková (Vice President, ESN Hradec Králové) and Martin Petrovický (Communication Manager, ESN Hradec Králové), both UHK students, represented the local ESN section and actively participated in a wide range of activities, such as:
- Flag Parade: They proudly carried the Czech flag in this vibrant celebration of unity, culture, and diversity among Erasmus nations.
- EGM Expo: At the Czech national booth, Karolína and Martin introduced the UHK to fellow students and partners, sharing the values of our academic and international community. Also, they have promoted the city of Hradec Králové and its 800-year celebration.
- Sessions & Workshops: They joined insightful discussions on youth empowerment, leadership, and the future of international mobility, returning with new ideas and motivation to support students in Hradec Králové.
EGM Ancona 2025 was not just about representing our university – it was about being part of a bigger movement: one that unites young people across Europe through exchange, cooperation, and shared dreams. A big thank you to ESN Ancona for organizing such a powerful and inspiring event. We can’t wait to turn what we’ve learned into action and new opportunities for our local community in Hradec!
