"What if we could, like, make a way for people interested in learning new skills to connect with peers who would like nothing more than to share their passion with others?" And just like that, the idea for an ESN "Skill-Buddy" System was born.
Comprising two rounds of sign-ups - one for the participants to share what skills they would like to teach and a subsequent one meant to match said "teachers" with enthusiastic students - this event facilitated the matched participants to contact each other and safely set up small "skill classes". The whole scheme kept a surprise factor, for the "skill group" that could provide the best video evidence of the newly acquired skills was awarded with ESNcards! Effectively, this event managed to combine both the need for safe & meaningful social interactions in a time of lockdown and the theme of ESN Romania's main initiative at the time - Skills & Employability Days.
