Interesting programme – workshops, integration meetings and the satisfied participants

The programme was full of sessions, workshops, group work and integration meetings, which ensured a great atmosphere and new friendships. There was also a guided tour of the monuments of Lodz and a joint lunch.

This is how the meeting is assessed by some of its participants:

Thank you, all! It was so well organised, both practically and content wise. (…) It was truly a pleasure to be a part of the group

– Elke Lingier from the University of Antwerp (Belgium)

There are so many things that I have taken away from our time in Lodz, but the overarching feelings are that of gratitude and excitement. (…) Your open welcome and honest attitude ensured top quality engagement and discussion. I feel ready to take on the future world of education after this, safe in the knowledge that across Europe and indeed beyond we are facing the same challenges, yet all we need to do is to reach out for connection and collaboration as we seek to solve issues that are present in new worlds.

– Kathy Bradley from the University College Cork (Ireland)

This has been the second event of this type organised by the International Relations Office since the pandemic. We hope that next year we will meet more internationalisation specialists.
