WHERE THE IDEA FOR THE PROJECT CAME FROM?

Ambitio College, which has significant experience in developing innovative adult education programs as well as in managing the EU projects, has recognized a need for the improvement of educational service quality and human resource management, the development of its own e-learning systems and its internationalization through the implementation of staff mobilities.

 

At the same time, actively working through partnerships with institutions, organizations and institutions at the local and national level in the development of the economy and the community Ambitio College has recognized a need and importance of developing cooperation and promoting its own activities beyond the borders of the Republic of Croatia. The initial necessary steps for the internationalization of Ambitio College will be achieved through the mobilities of staff and the development of an informal network of potential partners from the wider European area, which will open the door for future strategic partnerships and cooperation with educational organizations and institutions in Europe, and enable the development of joint projects that will contribute to the creation of innovative ideas, the exchange of good practice and the improvement of educational and teaching methods.
