From June 13th to 17th, Aspira College organized its fifth International Week and hosted 11 of its international colleagues from various European universities!
During the five days of their stay in Split, participants had an opportunity to follow many interesting lectures of their colleagues, but also to visit the tourist attractions of the city under Marjan hill, as well as neighboring two UNESCO-protected locations – Salona and Trogir, all with the guidance and organization of our Josip Radić from the Office for International Cooperation of Aspira College. They also tried their hand at cooking under the guidance of our chef Nikša Boban.
The opening ceremony was led by Josip, who took care of the organization of this unique event.
