Last but not least, we are also preparing practical lessons related to basketball and dance, and the aforementioned Tibetan folk dance workshops will also be a bonus part of this week.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit at least a few of the 24 upcoming lectures and workshops during this week full of internationalization on home soil. Above all, we warmly recommend a visit to those who are going to go abroad, or to students who are only thinking about the possibility of studying or doing an internship abroad and have not yet dared to apply for Erasmus. This is a unique opportunity where you can try teaching in another language, practice your English communication skills and maybe even talk to teachers from your desired destination.
