Hello everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This July, I had the opportunity to participate in my first Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). It was organised by the University of Bia\u0142ystok, one of the partner universities in the Across Alliance, of which our university is also a member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BIP consisted of an online and an in-person part. During the online sessions, we attended two days of classes where we not only learned about movement and physical activity, but also actively participated in discussions and group work. As part of the programme, we prepared a presentation about the history and the most popular forms of physical activity in our home countries, which we later presented during the in-person mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The in-person part took place at the campus of the Bialystok University of Technology (Politechnika Bia\u0142ostocka), in Bia\u0142ystok, Poland. Our schedule was packed with activities. We attended lectures and presentations, participated in workshops, and took part in various physical training sessions. To make the programme more interactive and efficient, we were divided into two groups. The course was very dynamic, running from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. almost every day, so there was never a dull moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the programme, we experienced a wide range of activities, from Tai Chi and Nordic walking to body composition analysis and health assessments. We also explored the city and its surroundings through guided tours and walks, which made the seminar even more enjoyable. Overall, I believe the programme was exceptionally well organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the academic knowledge we gained, I think the most valuable part of any international exchange is the opportunity to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. I can honestly say that this was one of the best groups of people I have ever had the chance to meet at an event like this. We connected from the very beginning. We collaborated, supported one another, shared countless laughs, and spent all of our free time together, whether exploring the city, discovering new places, or simply getting to know each other better. We created friendships that I truly believe will last a lifetime, and we have already promised to meet again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiences like this BIP enrich you both personally and professionally. They broaden your perspective, help you develop new skills, and allow you to grow as an individual. I would highly recommend participating in programmes like this to anyone considering it. You certainly won\u2019t regret it, and I sincerely hope that this is only the first of many international experiences I will have the opportunity to be part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
