President

Dear all,

I am Robert Broers, 22 years old and originally from Roermond, located in the southern part of the Netherlands. I study business economics at the Avans University of Applied Sciences in 's Hertogenbosch, but have never left Tilburg since I originally started business economics at Tilburg University.

Since I was only 10 weeks old, our family has been travelling and living around the world. I was born in Ede, but moved to Mexico for my fathers work. We lived there for 6 years and my little brother was even born there. After our adventure in Mexico, it was time for a new challenge: France. I have had the opportunity to enjoy the French culture for two years, when our parents decided that they wanted to move back to the Netherlands, but even there I had international influences, as my mother is German from origin. Besides these experiences, I have always been travelling around the world for leisure. Canada, America, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and Burma (Myanmar) are just a few of the countries I have been lucky enough to visit. I guess you can say that travelling is one of my passions.

During upcoming year, I wish to further professionalize ESN the Netherlands and ESN AISBL. Big steps have been taken last year, but there is room for even more improvement. Also, I would like to see a financially stable ESN the Netherlands in combination with successful national events, like ESNow and our newly set up national activity, the Erasmus Sound Festival.

Kind regards,

Robert Broers
President ESN the Netherlands
