Bitget, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced a strategic partnership with the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) Luzern, a local branch of the renowned student organization. The collaboration links a global network of students with the aim of raising awareness and knowledge of Web3 technologies and paving the way for a new generation of digital leaders. It began with an immersive “Game Night” event on September 8th and 9th, designed to introduce over 100 students to the foundations of blockchain in an engaging, hands-on way.
The event took place at the Gameorama Spielmuseum in Luzern and was a centerpiece of the welcome week for students from the University of Lucerne, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and PH Luzern. The two days were split into an educational session giving a foundational understanding of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance, followed by a wide-ranging gaming session with VR games, board games, card games and arcade classics.
“Most programs simply teach theory; we are focused on closing the practicality gap,” said Vugar Usi Zade, COO of Bitget. “This collaboration isn’t just about lectures on smart contracts; it’s about giving students hands-on workshops, simulated trading experiences, and direct access to industry professionals. We’re not just creating informed users; we’re cultivating future developers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who can leverage decentralized technology to create meaningful change.”
ESN Luzern is the local branch of the Erasmus Student Network, a non-profit organization that supports and integrates international students in Switzerland. It runs a Buddy Program, organizes social and cultural events and offers practical advice to help students feel at home in their new environment.
“Our mission at ESN is to support students, and a key part of that is equipping them with the knowledge and skills they’ll need for the future. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to education and inclusion, providing a great opportunity for students to learn about Web3 technologies in a practical and accessible way.” commented Tom Haak, ESN Luzern President.
Digital knowledge is essential for young people today and creates strong opportunities for their future careers. The new cooperation provides a platform to equip students with the skills needed to build and improve the current Web3 ecosystem, which should contribute to the sector’s long-term growth and innovation.
The partnership is set to continue. A workshop titled “DeFi 2.0 & The Rise of Real-World Assets” is planned at the HSLU Informatik & Wirtschaft. The session will look more closely at key topics in the sector, including the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs), cross-chain DeFi protocols, the Swiss regulatory landscape and advanced yield strategies.
Over the longer term, the initiative aims to extend the university network to other ESN chapters across Europe and to develop a structured curriculum for ongoing crypto education initiatives.
The collaboration with ESN Luzern forms part of Bitget’s global Blockchain4Youth initiative, a multi-year program dedicated to empowering the next generation with practical blockchain skills. Blockchain4Youth aims to reach 1 million students and early-career professionals by 2026 through workshops, hackathons and industry collaborations.
The event follows the successful “Crypto Experience Month” in August, which drew over 2,000 students across 11 global markets with events featuring educational talks, NFT airdrops and live crypto payments. The cooperative effort underlines a shared commitment to making Web3 education accessible, practical and inspiring for the next wave of digital innovators.
