Student representatives from all eight EDUC universities participated to get to know each other, establish general guidelines, allocate roles, and determine forms of collaboration and progress.
"Promising"
Nora Rymoen Houidi is the newly elected student leader in the Student Democracy in Southeast (SDSN) and participated in the brainstorming session as the sole representative from USN.
"This first meeting holds promise. All of us who are part of the student council are engaged and enthusiastic, and above all, grateful to be involved and to be able to collaborate closely with EDUC staff," says Houidi, adding that EDUC's student council is committed to being a clear and strong part of the ecosystem of international student organizations.
EDUC's student council is also represented in the European Student Union.
Contributing
All representatives in the student council will engage in various tasks within EDUC's work packages and thereby contribute to the realization and development of the alliance in accordance with its obligations to the EU.
The student council will also appoint a leader, a deputy leader, and a secretary. The leader will be part of EDUC's steering committee with voting rights and decision-making authority on par with the other committee members.
"I don't want to comment on anything here for now, but you will hear from us when it's ready. I promise," says Houidi with a smile.
