European Student Network
Dream big, start small, go deep
The European Student Network is a network for people involved in student ministry around Europe. We seek to learn together and from each other on how we can live out our Navigator Calling in our contexts among students.
We have two Learning Communities per year where we have some input on a theme, spend time in the Scriptures, share what we’re learning on the ground and reflect on how the Lord might be leading us to respond. We focus on the theme’s impact both on us personally and on how we minister.
We also facilitate huddles that meet monthly to encourage, support, and learn together.
Every other year, we run the European Student Staff Conference, which is a bigger gathering of student staff and key students from around Europe. It’s an event that seeks to inspire and help us see that we are part of something bigger. Find more info about the upcoming gathering here.
Each summer there are several Summer Training programs that happen. You can find more info about them here.
There are also informal connections between countries and ministries that have grown out of getting to know one another in the network.
