These guides are people (both Dutch and international) who have been in Groningen for a while and will help guide you through the introduction week events. You are put into groups of 10-15 people, including your group's introduction guides. The ESN introduction week is specifically for international students who are new to Groningen. ESN is an international student organisation which organises events throughout the year for its members. I signed up as a participant for the ESN introduction week when I first arrived in Groningen. ESN and KEI-week happen at different times during the summer, so you can potentially sign up for both (like I did). Both of these introduction weeks are organised by separate student associations (so not the university) and cost money to join. There are two main introduction weeks you can join in Groningen: the ESN introduction week (30 August - 4 September) and KEI week (12-16 August 2019). I made new friends, discovered places in the city I would not have found otherwise, and kick-started my student life in Groningen. It's been a few years since I first signed up to the introduction weeks in Groningen as a new student, and I have absolutely no regrets.
