Mesto: 🇫🇮 Mikkeli

Mobilnosti dijakov v okviru Erasmus+ KA1

✨ Mikkeli dijaki doživljajo kot mirno, čisto in zelo naravno finsko mesto, kjer so jezera, gozdovi in zimski vsakdan del čisto običajne rutine. Življenje tam prinese veliko hoje, prilagajanja na mraz, nove navade in precej bolj sproščen delovni ritem. Praksa pa ponudi veliko praktičnega dela, prijetne sodelavce in občutek, da se v novem okolju hitro osamosvojiš.
