Foreign Languages with the Jagiellonian Language Centre

Participants from the European Union’s partner institutions as well as those from outside of Europe involved in the KA107 Erasmus+ Programme are welcome to take part. Participants are expected to obtain Erasmus+ Staff Mobility grants from their home institutions to cover their accommodation, living and travel expenses.

The training is scheduled for five consecutive days from 13-17 July 2020. The courses are designed for 20 or 25 hours. Most courses will run in the morning from 9:00-12:15.

The fee is:

• €200 for a 25-hour course
• €160 for a 20-hour course.

All participants are expected to register for the event and cover the cost of attending (travel, accommodation and food). The organisers will offer some cultural and social elements for additional fees. Information about extra events will be available after the registration has closed.
