The objectives in Amendrosʼ position are “to share opinions, debate them and work on them together with student representatives from other countries, and compare and analyse the implementation of the Bologna Plan in the different European regions of the European Higher Education Area”. Being appointed ambassador at ESU meant joining two passions for Almendros: international diplomacy and student representation.
Francesc Almendros, student of International Business at the Faculty of Economics and Business, notes he will have the chance to “develop university policies for which the students will be able to enjoy programs to complete their university experience”.
