ESN Buddy Programme
Mentoring Programme
Your first friend in Vilnius
Starting your Erasmus journey in a new country can feel overwhelming - a new city, a new university, new people. That is why ESN Vilnius University offers a Buddy Programme to help you feel at home right from the very beginning.
Your Buddy is a Vilnius University student or alumnus who volunteers to support you during your first weeks in Lithuania - and beyond. Think of them as your go-to person for questions, advice, and exploring the city together.
