History

1999 LETSWORK Zeitung für studentische Arbeit
- The future founder of ESNA, Tino Brömme, starts “LETSWORK Journal for student work” for the student labour agency TUSMA in Berlin and provides 20.000 international students with news and advice on jobs and labour law.
- Leaving the student organisation, LETSWORK evolves and becomes WORK|OUT European Students’ Review. With 50.000 copies it becomes the largest student paper of Europe. Seven years a collective of students, lecturers and artists produces and distributes the free multilingual news quarterly in university cities of Germany, Italy, France and Spain.
Twice, in 2004 and 2005, WORK|OUT wins the national award for innovative contents and solutions in the print and multimedia sector Premio Palinsesto Italia. The jury appreciates “the editorial structure organised as a network” and praises the “valid example of a Europe-wide distribution” to “promote the European identity and encourage cultural criticism.”

- As an offshoot of the journal, the web portal “EFORS.eu – Europe for Students” arises and becomes an independent successful enterprise. EFORS.eu was one of the most visited websites by young mobile Europeans and a close partner of ESNA.
- As persons, networks and competences ripened, a new professional channel was needed. So the core group of WORK|OUT founded ESNA, the first press agency, expert network and news publisher focussed on European science and higher education policy.
2015 ESNA Media
