My name is Ryan, and I have the privilege of serving as the President of ESN Zwolle. As a native Dutch with a touch of South American heritage, I am thrilled to be part of this vibrant community and look forward to welcoming all of you to Zwolle.
Having completed a minor last semester, I had the pleasure of working with students from various countries, which was an enriching experience. That exposure to different cultures and perspectives inspired me to continue fostering meaningful connections, and I’m excited to do so alongside my incredible board.
At ESN Zwolle, we are committed to ensuring that your time here is nothing short of unforgettable. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can connect with fellow students, immerse yourself in new experiences, and truly make the most of your stay in Zwolle.
A little about me: I am currently pursuing a degree in Journalism, and in my free time, you’ll often find me either playing or watching football, which I’m passionate about. I also have a love for all kinds of games, whether they be strategic or social.
I look forward to meeting each of you soon and helping to create lasting memories during your time in Zwolle.
My name is Giel, and I am 21 years old. I am the Vice President and Secretary of ESN Zwolle.
I was born and raised in the Netherlands and I’ve lived my whole life in Zwolle, so I’m a true Blauwvinger! As the Vice President and Secretary, I am the main contact person for questions from both international and Dutch students, as well as organisations. I am also responsible for managing the digital workspace and handling incoming mail.
A little about myself: I am currently in my third year of studying to become a history teacher. In my free time, I love to read, go to concerts or festivals, work out and visiting museums. Together with the board, I hope to give the students a fantastic time in Zwolle.
Čau from Ulla! I am 21 years old and from Latvia. This is my third year in the Netherlands and my third year studying Global Project and Change Management. I know it sounds like a lot, but I really enjoy the study program. This year, I will be responsible for the financial part and partnerships in ESN Zwolle.
This was my first time going abroad alone and starting a new chapter in my life, so I can relate to the feeling when a student comes here for an exchange semester or year. It can be scary, or it can be the best time of your life. I am here to help us make the best memories and remember this time as the fun part of our lives. I enjoy playing volleyball and piano, techno music, and reading books—a bit of everything—like ESN Zwolle.
As your Treasurer, I’ll manage ESN Zwolle’s finances, ensuring we maximize our resources. As Partnership Manager, I’ll search for meaningful collaborations and deals that benefit the international students in Zwolle. I am excited to have this opportunity, and let’s make 2024/2025 the best year so far!
Hey I am Jule, the Communication & Integration Coordinator of ESN Zwolle for this year!
This means I am responsible for promotion & sharing info on social media and WhatsApp, to make sure everyone knows about our next amazing events! I am also here to support the volunteers and committees, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and any questions the students may have are answered!! (so don’t hesitate to contact me :)).
A little bit about myself and why I joined ESN:
I am originally from Germany & I am now in my third year of studying Global Project and Change Management. I love being active, doing something with my friends, going to the gym, trying out new things – it doesn’t matter if it’s sports, games or anything else related! I enjoy meeting new people, learning new things and broadening my horizon – this is also one of the main reasons why I joined ESN. It is so amazing to see the community that grows out of so many people from different countries and cultures. It is a real pleasure to become part of it!
I am so excited for this wonderful time and all the new things I will learn, but especially for all the fantastic people I will meet!
My name is Tom, 23-years old from Nieuwkoop.
I just returned from my Erasmus exchange in Lisbon and so far I’ve been living in Zwolle for the last three years where I study industrial design.
I would say im a very energetic and social person and if im not at school you can find me chilling with friends, climbing at Roest or being on a side quest with my camera.
I am very happy to been given the chance to become this years activity coordinator! As such I’d suggest you to keep an eye out for all that me and my committee have in store for y’all!!
Let’s make it a great one!
