Job Shadowing in Croatia with Erasmu+ Courses Croatia
Since 2015, Erasmus+ Courses Croatia has been one of the leading Croatian providers of Erasmus+ teacher training. Thanks to years of experience, we have built strong connections with the local community, especially schools. Therefore, we create tailored job shadowing experiences that fit your professional goals and interests.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to step into another European classroom, exchange ideas with local teachers, and see how education looks in a different culture?
Our Job Shadowing in Split, Croatia offers exactly that! A hands-on, inspiring professional experience designed for educators seeking growth, collaboration, and international exchange.
What Is Job Shadowing?
Job shadowing is a short-term Erasmus+ professional development activity. Therefore, it allows teachers, school leaders, and education professionals to observe and learn from colleagues in another country.
In Split, participants spend 3 to 5 days immersed in real school environments. It includes attending classes, meeting principals, psychologists, and teachers, and discovering how Croatian schools approach inclusion, digital learning, and student engagement.
It is not a course or lecture, but rather real, authentic learning from real classrooms
Duration of the Activity
Under the Erasmus+ Programme, the job shadowing period can officially last from 2 to 60 days. This depends on your objectives and the arrangements between your sending and hosting organisations.
At Erasmus+ Courses Croatia, most participants choose 3–5 days in Split. This allows them to maximize their experience while fitting within their Erasmus+ project schedule — but longer stays are possible upon request.
We’re happy to adapt the length and structure of your stay to your project’s goals and timeline.
