Bologna & Rimini Experience: A Weekend of Culture, Friendship and International Exchange

19–21 June 2026 | Bologna & Rimini, Italy

From 19 to 21 June, a group of participants enjoyed an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Emilia-Romagna region, combining cultural exploration, international friendship and leisure activities.

The journey began in Bologna, one of Italy’s most historic and vibrant cities, renowned for its medieval architecture, lively atmosphere and prestigious university heritage. During the stay, participants were accommodated in a beautiful house with a swimming pool, providing the perfect setting to relax, strengthen friendships and share meaningful moments outside the formal learning environment.

Beyond discovering the city’s unique charm, the experience encouraged intercultural dialogue, teamwork and social interaction among participants from different backgrounds. Informal moments such as shared meals, conversations and recreational activities became valuable opportunities for cultural exchange and personal growth.

The weekend continued with a visit to Rimini, one of Italy’s most famous coastal destinations. Participants had the opportunity to experience the city’s dynamic nightlife by attending a vibrant summer event, immersing themselves in the local atmosphere while enjoying music, entertainment and the welcoming spirit of the Adriatic coast.

Experiences like these play an important role in Erasmus+ mobility by complementing educational activities with opportunities to develop soft skills, build international friendships and gain a deeper understanding of European cultures.

This journey once again demonstrated that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Every destination visited, every conversation shared and every new experience contributes to creating more open-minded, confident and internationally connected citizens.

We look forward to many more experiences that continue to inspire learning, cultural exchange and European cooperation.
