As part of the Erasmus Days celebrations, Santa Maria Health School welcomed Maria João Silva, President of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) Porto for the 2025/2026 term. During the visit, the school’s facilities were presented, and information about the Erasmus programme at the institution was shared. In turn, the guest provided insights into the activities carried out by ESN Porto.

ESN is an international student association present in over 800 higher education institutions across 40 countries, dedicated to promoting student integration and cultural exchange. In Portugal, ESN Porto organises a variety of initiatives, ranging from welcome events to trips and cultural activities, with the participation of both Portuguese and international student volunteers (https://www.esnporto.org/).

The visit helped strengthen the partnership between Santa Maria Health School and ESN Porto, opening prospects for the continuation of a fruitful and enriching collaboration.
