For me, the Erasmus+ Courses Croatia experience can be described as follows: organization, cheerfulness, diversity. An unforgettable experience! Cra Monterrei2025-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiencia inigualable! Súper bien organizada la formación y el equipo docente es espectacular (Dario, Jakov y Mirjana)! Grandes profesionales, agradables, bromistas, cercanos, fomentando en todo momento la interacción del grupo y la práctica del inglés, no solamente de los contenidos estrictamente del curso. Dario es de lo más expresivo, incluso para las personas que nos cuesta más el inglés nos resultó fácil entenderlo. Promovieron que hiciéramos equipo creando un grupo de WhatsApp para compartir nuestras vivencias. El SOCIAL PROGRAMME que ofrecen está muy bien. Susy que es la guía es espectacular y también se le entiende muy bien en inglés. Muy recomendable para tener las visitas organizadas y compartir más tiempo con los compañeros de otros países. Un programa muy enriquecedor y totalmente recomendable. Catalina - Ramona Popescu2025-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was an Erasmus course where I learned a lot and built new connections with people. Thank you!
