Following a selection process for motivated and focused applicants, two groups of students travelled to partner companies in Europe. The traineeship in Pistoia, Italy ran from 7 June to 6 July 2026, and the one in Braga, Portugal from 10 June to 8 July 2026.

Students taking part came from the Communication Design, Interior Design, Business and Commerce, Logistics, Software Development, Audiovisual Arts and Technology and Hospitality Services programmes.

During their placements, students developed their professional knowledge and practical skills, learned how companies abroad are organised and how they work, improved their English, and built their independence, sense of responsibility and ability to work in an international team. The mobilities also gave them the chance to get to know Portuguese and Italian culture, traditions and everyday life, enriching both their personal and professional experience.

Erasmus+ mobilities are a significant investment in students' professional development, strengthening their competitiveness in the labour market, their self-confidence and their readiness to work in an international environment.

The summer mobility cycle is still under way. In the coming weeks, two more groups of our students will return home from Germany and Sweden, where they are currently completing placements at companies abroad. Once all the mobilities have concluded, we will share the overall project experience and its most memorable moments.

Erasmus+ (KA1) learning mobility project No. 2025-1-LV01-KA121-VET-000336321 is funded with the support of the European Union.
