What they argued

Affordable housing Actfiled 3 Apr 2026PDFsource

The European Students Union (ESU), representing more than 20 million students across Europe, welcomes the European Affordable Housing Plan as a long-overdue acknowledgement that Europe faces not only a housing crisis, but a social crisis that directly undermines the right to education.

European Strategy on Vocational Education and Training (VET)filed 19 Feb 2026PDFsource

The European Students Union (ESU) is an umbrella organisation representing 40 National Student Unions from 43 different countries. For ESU, the upcoming strategy for VET should focus on 4 different points: VET as a public good ESU stresses that VET must be recognised first and foremost as a public good, not merely as an instrument to address short-term labour market shortages.

Is this your organization?

Everything on this page comes from European Students' Union’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.

Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
