In order to celebrate Erasmus Day, which was celebrated this year from 9 to 14 October 2023, we have gathered in cooperation with EUROPE DIRECT Rijeka at the Torpedo Production Park, the beneficiaries of the Erasmus+ programme in various fields presented their experiences and discovered the opportunities offered by the European Union!
For the appetizer we used a panel of scatters in which they participated Petra Zaninović (ERASMUS+ and CEEPUS coordinator of the Faculty of Economics in Rijeka), Madlen Zubović (librarian of the Rijeka Traffic School), Antonio Šimanić (student of the Rijeka Traffic School) and Petra Katana (Head of the Department for EU Projects and International Cooperation at the Institution for Adult Education Dante). The panellists presented their experiences of participating in the mobility provided by the Erasmus+ programme, the problems they encountered and how they solved them, and finally why they would recommend others to participate in the Erasmus+ programme.
For the main course, projects funded by the Erasmus+ programme were presented in an interactive environment. Project Mind over Metter presented Zagorka Prce Cheerful (Director of the Centre for Technical Culture Rijeka) who activated the present workshop using MOM cards created within the project.
Project for the development of career management skills: Fast Track, presented Ana Jerković (Project manager from the Rijeka Development Agency Porin). Through the quiz, the attendees had the opportunity to discover more about their career management skills.
As a sugar in the end, for dessert, EUROPE DIRECT Rijeka and CTK presented the DiscoverEU initiative and showed the young people present how to discover Europe's diversity, learn about its cultural heritage and history and socialize with people from all over Europe!
The event was attended by representatives of secondary schools, faculties, associations, experts in the field of adult education and students.
We are pleased that this event, as well as the Erasmus+ programme, has been recognized in our area and that this event has resulted in numerous collaborations among participants, which is a great example that such meetings have a good impact on connecting all sectors of society
We look forward to hearing about future projects and experiences from exchanges!
