- Solidarity: Highlight the solidarity among students from different countries, emphasizing the message of unity despite the diversity.
- Continuity: Encourage other ESN sections in different cities to participate by creating their own mascot graffiti, potentially leading to a global ESN mural trail.
The image shows a collage of four pictures depicting a graffiti project for the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). The top two pictures are labeled "REAL LIFE" and showcase actual walls in Istanbul, Turkey, and Köln, Germany, where graffiti art representing the project's slogan, "WE ARE ONE," is displayed. In Istanbul, the graffiti shows two figures within a circle surrounded by green foliage, and in Köln, the same design is replicated.
The bottom two images present the conceptual designs for the graffiti. On the left, labeled "WHAT WE PLANNED," is a draft for Istanbul, featuring a silhouette of Pikachu, the chosen mascot for the city, with the Turkish flag and the "WE ARE ONE" slogan. On the right, under "CREATING AN ESN PORTAL," is a design for an unspecified city, with Pikachu in color, suggesting a more vibrant and finalized design, alongside the same slogan.
The concept promotes a unified ESN community across different cities and countries, with each location contributing its unique mascot to a collective project. The note "NOT FINAL DESIGN JUST DRAFT AND CONCEPT" indicates these are preliminary ideas, possibly subject to change. The aim is to create an engaging and recognizable visual portal for ESN activities in various cities, symbolizing unity and connection within the international student community.
