Become Intro Guide!

From Friday, the 28th of August until Wednesday, the 2nd of September 2026, ESN Groningen is organising the ESN Intro Week. This week, 2000 new students will be given a warm welcome through various events, and we need your help to make this happen!

Would you like to lead a group of approximately 20 students during the Intro Week and make them feel welcome in Groningen? Then sign up as an Intro Guide! Being an Intro Guide is free and includes the following:

    • You will get access to all events of the Intro Week.
    • You will receive a Goodie Bag.
    • You will receive an Intro Guide T-shirt.
    • A social with all the Intro Guides and the ESN Executive Board.
    • Most importantly, you will get the opportunity to meet people from all over, befriend them, and have fun at one of Groningen’s biggest introduction weeks!

 

The programme from Monday, the 31st of August, until Wednesday, the 2nd of September, is primarily in the evening, so you don’t have to miss any courses during the day.

You can sign up together with a friend or by yourself. If you sign up alone, you will be paired up with another guide!

As a Guide, your role is to showcase the vibrant student life in Groningen. Together with your partner, you’ll be the ultimate tour guide, leading your group to all the must-see spots in the city. Being a Guide is more than just showing people around. You’ll strive to create a sense of belonging within your group, making connections that may even last beyond the Intro Week. For many participants, you’ll be their first introduction to the Groningen community, so it’s essential to be approachable and ready to answer any questions they may have.

Please remember that you must attend one of the mandatory briefings for the February Intro Week! You can choose which of the two to attend. If you do not attend one of the briefings, you cannot be an Intro Guide. 

Mandatory Briefing: TBA

For any questions, please email introductionguide@esn-groningen.nl.

Deadline to sign up as an Intro Guide: Thursday, 20th of August 2026, 23:59.
