With the aim of getting together both students and the community, ESN Porto has prepared a day that won’t pass unnoticed throughout all June 10th here at our World Heritage City. We thereby invite all of you to join our ERASMUS Day celebrations. During the entire day, when we will also celebrate a national Holiday, Porto will live the Pallomeri spirit, with a massive amount of ideas and stories being exchanged. At the same time the City will get to know what ERASMUS really means. The schedule for June 10^th will be as follows.

10h00 – Arrival of the Van at the University of Porto Rectorate, in Praça Gomes Teixeira

There will be some folk music and popular entertainment;

11h00 – Reception at the “Salão Nobre” of the Rectorate

Words of welcome by the Vice-Rector of the University of Porto and time for the former, actual and next year ERASMUS students meet and share some experiences and information;

Getting together the citizens with the true ERASMUS spirit, the parade will take place by the seaside, with the use of bicycles, roller skates and everything that you can remember to make some movement and noise;

13h00 - 19h00 – Sports Activities

Organized by sports students of our university, several activities will take place during all afternoon, trying to involve as much population as possible.

Besides all this, and with the help of the University of Porto, we will have access to several TV Networks, Radio Stations and Newspapers to promote not only the ERASMUS Day in Porto but the ERASMUS Program as well.
