These meetings usually see officers travelling to the hosting country to attend the workshops and plenaries in person, something that was not possible this year. Instead, the network came together using online platforms, and alongside their willingness to learn, cooperate and evolve, the officers also brought fresh ideas and suggested solutions to help us tackle the many challenges we have all been facing for the past few months.
The International Meetings are a unique occasion during which officers are given the opportunity to better their skills and gain new ones as well as network with their fellow officers from across the Association. These events not only provide our officers with the tools to excel in their roles, but they also boost their confidence and lead them to achieve their goals and reach their potential. As our network continues to grow and evolve, so do we. We embrace change, we welcome new challenges and see them as a way to become stronger, and to support one another at a time when we need it the most.
The ELSA UK network was represented at the International Meetings by both local and national officers who attended the sessions and added their input to the fruitful discussions that took place throughout the event. As officers representing the ELSA UK network, we were able to actively participate in the workshops, engage with fellow students and ensure that we have the necessary tools to lead our groups in the coming months.
