Erazm z Rotterdamu byłby zadowolony. O wszelakich pożytkach z wyjazdów dydaktycznych w ramach „Mobility Agreement Staff for Teaching”

Abstract

In an unconventional and non-objective (because very personal) way, the author describes various benefits of taking part in the “Erasmus” and “Erasmus Plus” programs in Slovakia, Lithuania and Ukraine. She recalls her trips in the countryside, the people she met, and, most importantly, her intellectual adventures (the experience of new places and new contacts; confronting herself with new languages and foreign mentality; new forms academic life; scholars, students, and the problems they cope with, as well their political and world views). The article shows how to establish contacts with foreign institutions, and how to share experience within new foreign colleagues within a very short period of time (five days only). This is not possible, as the author argues, without making friends on a new ground.
