The ESU continues to expand throughout the globe, providing an ever increasing number of opportunities for people from different cultures to meet and learn about each other’s background, beliefs and ideas. Through exchanges, conferences and international debating and public speaking training and competitions, the ESU is creating a network across the world in order to increase international understanding and globall awareness.
The ESU at Dartmouth House London works in partnership with a network of ESUs worldwide. It has spread to 52 countries on all five continents. Most recently ESUs have opened in Estonia, Bordeaux, Cyprus, Albania and Turkey. Each ESU has its own calendar of events which range from public speaking and debating competitions to literary events and lectures. They also take part in the wide programme of events offered by the ESU in London which include the International Public Speaking Competition, the ESU & Globe Education Cultural Seminar and the ESU International Relations Conference.
