Erasmus+, the path to self-development
The Erasmus+ program offers numerous opportunities for mobility and cooperation in the field of Education.
This year, I had the chance to apply to such a program, to be accepted and to participate at the course Improving English Language Skills: Level A, between June 26 and July 2, 2022. Since the Welcome Event, I have realized that I was surrounded by extremely sociable people who were willing to share examples of good practices.
The course took place in a very pleasant atmosphere and was structured in order to achieve different skills: Making small talk and conversational competencies, Let’s talk about the present, Let’s talk about the past, Future forms, Reading comprehension, Let’s get creative, Learn how to write an email, Expressing opinions, Listening for better understanding and and conversation. The teachers used modern methods and active learning through games and activities.
The organizers also gave us the possibility of discovering the Dalmatian cultural heritage, the Croatian Education System, and the excursions organized within the Social Programme revealed charming places. I was impressed by the Virtual Reality Experience in the Diocletians’ Palace. It is an innovative way of tellig a historical tale through the latest in virtual reality technology.This original way to tell Diocletians’ Story opens a completely new perspective on the approach and presentation of cultural and historical heritage.
The most important thing is that we have the opportunity, as a result of participating to this course, to involve ourselves and our students in different activities in collaboration with teachers we met there.
