One of the key events was the consortium’s visit to the European Commission in Brussels, where participants discovered new funding opportunities for higher educational institutions and university alliances, as well as the planned changes to the Erasmus+ program for 2028–2034.

In November, representatives of Educational and Scientific Institute of International Education of “KROK” University made a working visit to ESIC University (Madrid, Spain) within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA171 project.
During the meeting with the International Office, the parties carried out monitoring of the current stage of the project, discussed the conditions and opportunities for participation in the upcoming call, and outlined further areas of cooperation in other grant programs.
An important part of the visit was a meeting with “KROK” University students who are currently studying at ESIC University under the academic mobility program. Students shared their experience about learning process, living conditions, and impressions of their mobility experience.
“KROK” University extends its sincere gratitude to the ESIC partners for their warm welcome, productive discussions, and valuable meetings. We look forward to further strengthening our cooperation and implementing new joint initiatives!
We have officially completed the program for the second cohort of participants within “ArtNoConflict” project - and it was truly an inspiring experience that brought together participants from different parts of the world!
From October 16 to November 19, 2025, participants attended training sessions and explored such important topics as conflict resolution, emotional management, active listening tools, argumentation, and more. They engaged in practical exercises and discussed real-life cases in small groups with the support of facilitators.
All participants who successfully met the program requirements received certificates confirming the completion of the course within “ArtNoConflict” project.
We sincerely thank all participants for their openness, dedication, and active engagement. Our gratitude also goes to the trainers, facilitators, and the entire project team for their productive and professional work.
Until our next ArtNoConflict journey!
