ESN Bari - Erasmus Student Network

Together with hundreds of people, our international students took part in the Bari Pride parade, celebrating diversity, inclusion and the freedom to be ourselves. ❤️🩷🧡💙💛💚💜

This year was even more special because ESN Bari had its very own float, made possible thanks to the incredible support of Silvano Intini 🚚🎉 The float became a space where music, dancing and positive energy brought everyone together throughout the parade.

Walking side by side, we proudly showed what our community stands for: respect, acceptance and unity. 🫂💫

An afternoon where creativity met music in the best way possible 🎶✨

During our Vinyl Records Painting workshop, you transformed old vinyl records into unique pieces of art, expressing your creativity through colors and personal designs 🎨💿

From iconic album-inspired artworks to nature, lettering and original ideas, every record became a reflection of its creator’s imagination. 💛

Surrounded by great music, good vibes and lots of inspiration, everyone left with a one-of-a-kind creation to take home as a special memory of the day 💫

During the Bouldering Session, our students stepped out of their comfort zones and discovered one of the most engaging sports.. testing their strength, balance and problem-solving skills on the climbing walls! 🧗‍♀️

With the guidance of certified instructors , everyone had the chance to tackle different routes, encourage each other and celebrate every achievement, big or small 🙌

Thank you Bloc Base for hosting us🥹
