ESN TLU International Club
The International Club (IC) of ESN Tallinn University is an organization that was founded in 2006 as part of the student body of Tallinn University. IC is also a division of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN), internationally known as ESN TLU IC.
Purpose
The aim of the club is to offer international students a fun and enjoyable university life and introduce them to Estonian culture. For this purpose, we organize many interesting trips and fun events, including a welcome concert, a cultural evening, an international high-speed train, workshops and much more.
Of course, our goal is also to help students in adapting to life in Estonia and in educational matters. We actively work to improve the social and practical integration of international students and represent the needs and rights of international students at local, national and international levels.
In cooperation with university parties, we offer relevant information about mobility programs, motivate students to study abroad and contribute to improving student mobility and accessibility.

SocialErasmus is an international project of ESN, which invites young people to contribute to voluntary activities during their exchange studies in order to contribute to social changes and charity in society.
The goal of the project is to enrich the international experience with volunteering and to promote a social attitude among young people – to understand society’s problems and work on solutions.
The vision of the project is to show the added value of volunteer work as part of the mobility experience. The slogan of the project is Leave Your Mark!
Erasmus in Schools (Erasmus in Schools – EiS) was ESN’s flagship project and has been operating since 2013. The goal of the program organized within SocialErasmus is to promote mobility at an early age.
Local ESN departments organize surveys in primary and secondary schools so that our exchange students can organize activities in schools such as introducing their country and culture, language learning, etc.
If you want to join this program, please contact us by e-mail at icvice@esindus.ee.
Student support program
The TLU IC student support program consists of volunteer students who carry the title of student buddy and help international students. At the request of the student, an active student friend is assigned to him, who helps the foreign student to adapt better in the new country. The work of a student friend starts from the moment when he sends a greeting to a person coming to Estonia or to an e-mail that has already arrived.
As a first step, a friend can meet you at the airport/bus station and help you get safely to your accommodation. Of course, a friend also helps with, for example, administrative matters, as well as getting to know Estonian culture. Student friends give answers about transport, banking, the health system and of course the university. A student friend knows where to go, what to do and is ready to answer all your questions about life in Estonia.
All TU students and alumni are invited to become a student friend through the student support program.
If you are interested in joining our great group and helping new students in their adaptation to Estonian life, please contact us by e-mail at icvice@esindus.ee or via Facebook Tallinn University International Club.
