The document summarizes Svenja Danneberg's participation in the "Azubi-Europa" project through which she spent two weeks each in Hungary and Croatia on apprenticeships. The project involved preparatory e-learning followed by placements in the target countries where participants visited local companies and cultural sites while taking business workshops. In Hungary, Svenja visited a machine parts company, law office, and public utilities and learned about the country's economy and culture. In Croatia, her visits included a car dealership and Chamber of Economy, and she gained knowledge of Croatian business practices and took English language tests before sharing impressions from her trips.
