For the past 3 years, Lina has been a volunteer at Erasmus Student Network (ESN).
– It is an absolute honour to be nominated as a ISYY candidate. The work that I have done at ISYY is strongly driven by the ideas of social inclusion, internationalisation at home and active citizenship, which are some of the main themes that I would like to focus on if I become an Executive Board Member of SYL
– Lina is an awesome person and as an Executive Board member, she has developed ISYY’s international sector to the next level. Working with her never gets boring and you can really feel her enthusiasm towards interest advocacy. I truly believe that SYL’s international sector needs Lina, says the Chairperson of ISYY’s Executive Board Tahvo Kekkonen.
SYL General assembly will be arranged in Tampere on 17th – 18th November 2017. The General Assembly will make decisions about SYL next year’s action plan, guidelines of activity and choose the board for 2018. The Board consists of a chairperson and six board members.
