Program title: “Tasting Trails”

The Office for International Cooperation of Singidunum University announces a public call for short-term Erasmus+ student mobility within the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP).

The BIP is an innovative form of international mobility within the Erasmus+ program that combines a short physical mobility period with a mandatory virtual component. The program enables students, through cooperation among several higher education institutions from different European countries, to acquire new academic knowledge, enhance practical skills, and develop intercultural competences. Participation in a BIP carries ECTS credits, and teaching and activities are conducted in English, with mentoring support from academic staff of partner universities.

Within this mobility, selected students will attend part of the program virtually (online), while the other part will be carried out through physical presence at the host institution. The total number of funded mobilities is 6.

The physical part of the mobility will take place from 20^th to 24^th April 2026 in Brežice, Slovenia, while the virtual component will be implemented from 24^th March to 16^th April 2026. Participants will engage in in-depth theoretical modules and practical sessions covering the creation of tourism experiences, narrative construction of tourism products, sustainable tourism, and gastronomic and wine tourism. During the physical part of the mobility, student workshops, field visits, and joint project development in a multicultural environment will be organized. Lectures and the entire program will be conducted in English.

Upon completion of the program, students will receive an Erasmus certificate of participation in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP) and up to 5 ECTS credits.
