Daria, a 13-year-old Romanian student, participated in an Erasmus+ program in Vinkovci, Croatia where she engaged in various educational and cultural activities. She took Croatian language lessons to learn greetings, the alphabet, and basic phrases. She also enjoyed an interactive music lesson where she learned to compose a song using country names and musical instruments. Daria visited several local sites including a textile factory, technical school, history museum, and Lipizzaner horse show. She felt at home during a visit to a history museum in Vukovar. Overall, Daria had a pleasant experience making new friends while learning about Croatian culture and left with both happy and sad feelings about ending
