Our program includes activities prepared especially for you and our students:

Spill the tea!
Take a break from studying and drop by to spill the tea about the Erasmus+ programme! Participants will be able to enjoy hot beverages from around the world, take part in Q&A sessions, and meet former Erasmus+ participants to hear about their experiences. The event will take place on 25 November, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at the Academic Relaxation Zone in the University Library.
A Polish podwieczorek, Swedish fika, or English five o’clock tea – there are many ways to describe taking a break from work or studying. And the best breaks are those spent with tea, biscuits, and good conversation. The Department of International Partnerships and Educational Mobility invites the entire academic community to join the celebration of Erasmus+ Day.
It’ll be a great opportunity to learn more about the programme, chat with the Erasmus+ team, and get valuable information from faculty coordinators about mobility opportunities.
Faculty coordinators’ schedule
Participants will also have the chance to create their own tea blend and learn about tea-drinking traditions from around the world. A sweet treat will be served as well, as no afternoon tea would be complete without it.
An art contest titled "Your Dream Erasmus+ Journey" awaits all participants. Attractive prizes will be awarded for the most beautifully and creatively decorated tea cups.
