    EÜL is very grateful for the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society (Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital), Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, Tallinn University and Tartu Mill. Welcome! Dear Friends from the European student movement, I am most happy to welcome you on behalf of Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) to the 35th European Students’ Convention (ESC) in Tallinn. EÜL is hosting ESC for the very first time and we have chosen our medieval yet high tech capital as the intriguing venue. The ESC “Inclusive Student Movement” concentrates on the safety and well- being of international students in the society and their inclusion in the student movement. EÜL sees problems with the latter aspects both in Estonia and in Europe at large. Together with globalization the internationalisation of higher education in Europe has increased rapidly. Each year there are more and more students who continue their studies abroad. Unfortunately, different societies are not always welcoming of international people, causing the students to experience discrimination in different forms. Furthermore not all higher education institutions are prepared to offer the necessary support and information needed to make the integration of international students and the overcoming of cultural barriers smooth. In addition, there is also a lack of representation of international students on the local, national and international level in the student bodies. The prior description paints a quite gloomy picture. We see there’s a lot of room for improvement. And there always will be because its like Don Quixote and his fights with the windmills.
