This was my first Erasmus+ Exchange, but that is not the only reason why I will remember it. I spent five amazing days here and had the chance to meet colleagues from several countries. I’m truly impressed by your great organization and warm welcome, you really made me feel at home. I hope our paths cross again soon and I’m already looking forward to it.
Genti Pano, Albania, November 2025
This ITW was for me a highly valuable and enjoyable experience. The hospitality of all the organizational team was perfect, I felt like home. The programme was well organized with engaging activities and plenty of opportunities for intercultural exchanges. I appreciate the chance to connect with physical activity, sport and health colleagues from different countries around the world. I have learnt new approaches to teaching that I think I can apply in my own work at my university. This week was really productive and memorable. I would gladly recommend this program to other colleagues of mine.

This was an incredible week! I learned a lot. Not only from the lectures. Socially it’s been a blast. It was just great to talk to people, play bowling and laugh…a lot. I really hope to come back next year and I’ll definitely tell everyone at home and provide warm recommendations.
