To prepare and get ready for the European University Championships and other EUSA events that will be scheduled during the season of 2023, the European University Sports Association (EUSA) office employees and volunteers participated in a team-building cycling activitiy in Slovenia on the 30th of May. 

The benefits of team building include increased communication, planning skills, employee motivation,employee collaboration, as well as making the team to ensure productivity and even greater work environment. 

EUSA office team is composed by Secretary General Mr Matjaz Pecovnik, Sports Manager Mr Miha Zvan, Communications and Projects Manager Mr Andrej Pisl, Education and Development Manager Ms Sara Rozman, Communications Officer Hristina Hristova, Administration and Support Ms Danijela Smeh and Ms Katja Dolinšek.
This year the team has grown with several new members, 3 new office staff members, Ms. Eszter Gulyas who is the new Sports Officer, Ms Aleksandra Andreeva as the new Sports Adminitrator, and Mr Salvatore Sisca the new Media Coordinator.
Furthermore, 3 volunteers also joined the EUSA family at the beginning of February - Ms Cristina Kenely, Ms Kinga Gaal and Mr Pol Arnan, and 1 intern arrived in May - Ms Emma Carriere.

The teambuilding cycling day was an excellent opportunity to bond with each other while doing some sport activity outside on a sunny day. The scheduled route was along the most beautiful and longest cycling route in Gorenjska, from Mojstrana to Belopeška Jezera, which was named after a famous Slovenian cyclist Juret Robič. Cycling more than 30 kilometers did not even exhaust the athletic and active EUSA team.

The main goals of the day were to strenghthen the interpersonal relationships, foster more teamwork inside the organization, and assemble everyone for the challenges ahead. Additionally, the teambuilding emphasized the value of being physically active and appreciating and protecting nature. 

EUSA is committed to anticipating a great season, starting with European Universities Games 2024 Convention in June, European University Championships, EUSA General Assembly & EUSA-FISU Strategic Dialogue in October, and in between taking part in several projects, as well as running other activities.
