The hosting of students

According to the feedback given by international students taking part in the Erasmus+ mobility program, the meeting was an overall success, and met everyone’s expectations. The majority of students mentioned the fact that they were given the opportunity to get an insight into the Polish culture and traditions, as well as try the local cuisine. Some of them commented on the fact that ‘they felt like home’ and were more inclined to overcome initial shyness and enhance their social skills. This in turn facilitated the establishment of new friendships and harmonious cooperation conditions among participating students. Besides what students acquired in terms of personal growth and cultural enhancement, there is one more positive outcome which should be pointed out; the interactive activities which students were involved in, as well as the use of the English language, which was the ‘lingua franca’ for all the participants, enabled students to improve their proficiency in English.
