10 days, 24 students, 3 teachers, and 1 unforgettable journey!🇧🇶 ✈️🇬🇷

The Start Strong Abroad project officially came to an end on 30 September, marking the end of an incredible experience in Greece!

Over 10 inspiring days, our amazing group from the Netherlands immersed themselves in challenge-based learning, cultural exchange, and personal growth. From breaking the ice and working together to stepping outside their comfort zones, students embraced new challenges, developed valuable skills, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

A heartfelt thank you to Da Vinci College for the fantastic cooperation, trust, and shared commitment to making this experience a success. 💙

And a big THANK YOU to Erasmus+ for supporting international learning opportunities that bring people together, open minds, and empower young people to grow! 🇪🇺

The project may have ended, but the memories, friendships, and lessons learned will stay with us!

A week of learning, sharing and professional inspiration!

A successful week of job shadowing has been completed for five teachers from the Vocational High School of Hotel Management, Catering and Tourism “Tsar Simeon Veliki”, sent to us by our valued partners Сдружение ЗА ТЕБ.

During their stay, the teachers had the opportunity to visit and learn from several companies working in the fields of hospitality, beverages and food, gaining first-hand insight into professional practices, workplace organisation and the skills needed in these dynamic sectors. 🍽️☕🏨

They also visited a 1st Vocational High School of Amaliada , where they exchanged experiences and explored approaches to vocational education and training, creating opportunities for new ideas and future cooperation.

We are grateful to our partners, host companies and everyone who contributed to making this experience meaningful and inspiring.
