Organized during the Welcome Days for the second semester, the activity aimed at welcoming the foreign students by playing together a volleyball tournament.
By teaming and competing, this tournament was the perfect chance to make a first and significant contact between Esners and foreign students, starting to build a friendly connection that often lasts all the semester.
Considered that it promotes sports and physical activity, this event can be connected to the Health & Well-Being aim.
For the event we rented the gym of a local school. To support us we asked the participants to share the expense, participating with a symbolic 2€ fee.
Due to limited participation, we only organized two teams, mixing them up after every match. In the end we played two "official" matches, and we stayed twenty more minutes playing "free" style.
We expected low participation, considered that the event was at the very beginning of the second semester and a lot of students still had to arrive and get used to the city.
Anyway, the participants enjoyed the time spent together and thanked us for the effort. Therefore, the event was clearly positive.
