When Erasmus students visit a foreign country, they do so with the intention to work on their assigned project. In September 2017 our research question was to find out how political and moral convictions had been transformed in Europe during WWI. However, Erasmus would not be Erasmus if there wasn’t more discover. Studying textbooks is what one may do back at home. When travelling with the flying EU classroom, you will go places and learn on the spot. Students from Denmark, Germany, Poland and The Netherlands thus visited the Varazdin Town Museum. Their Croatian friends presented historical facts about the WWI exhibits to be found there, such as weapons, medals and ID tags worn by soldiers during the war.

Another excursion took us to Trakošćan Castle, in German “Die Drachenburg”, where we took our first group photo for the Erasmus annals.

Not a bad way to learn about history, is it? 😉
