DVP/Entrepreneurship project meeting in Stockholm – Erasmus+ group mobility

This Erasmus in Sweden was my first program ever. It was full of enriching and memorable experiences.
From the moment we arrived in Sweden, I immediately felt welcomed by the swedes. Whether it was the teachers at the school we attended, or our local guides, everyone was approachable, and willing to help us in anything. The program itself was thoughtfully organized and rich in content. Its main focus was student entrepreneurship, and we had the opportunity to attend a variety of lectures, and group activities. The sessions were highly interactive. We were often placed in mixed international groups, which pushed us to collaborate and communicate. The swedes shared a lot of interesting facts about Sweden, and also taught us some useful phrases in swedish, which made the sessions even better. And of course, I’ve gained knowledge about the swedish economy, law, and government. Although our time was limited, the swedes arranged lots of interesting programs for us. We did lots of fun and cultural activities together. They showed us the city and their favourite places to hang out. To sum up, it was perfect as my first Erasmus program. I am thankful for all the new experiences, the people I’ve got to meet and the knowledge I’ve gained.

During the program, I had many great experiences. It was really nice to meet the Swedish kids and new people, learn about different cultures, and get to know Sweden better. I especially enjoyed the city tour: Stockholm is beautiful, and we heard many interesting things about it. The programs were useful too, because I could improve my skills in presenting, group work and in English. For example, in the lessons about crime and the economy, we learned a lot about the Swedish system, which is very different from ours.

I also found it interesting to compare our trade connections and discover new things about Hungarian trade that I didn’t know before. The financial museum was fun and interactive, with exciting tasks. I really liked the session about organising and leadership as well, because we had to be creative and practice practical thinking.

The presentations about student companies were also exciting. It was interesting to see what each group had done since November and to compare the Hungarian and Swedish systems.

Overall, I really enjoyed the whole program: I learned a lot and made great memories.

I really liked Sweden. It’s a beautiful country with great people. Every morning we attended different classes at school. We presented our student companies, participated in group work, so we could learn about the operation of their student companies and the school system itself. In the afternoon of the first day we took a sightseeing tour, where the Swedish students guided us. On the second day we visited the money museum together with the Swedish students, where after the presentation we solved the interactive tasks of the museum. On the third day we went to a university. It was a huge university, and we took a guided tour. It was interesting and informative. On the last day we had a farewell party, where they ordered pizza and we played games, talked to each other and said goodbye. It was a great experience and I met a lot of great people.

Last week I was a part of the second part of the Swedish-Hungarian exchange, which meant I got to travel to Sweden. The topic of our stay was “DVP,” which means student businesses. I really enjoyed this topic as I got to learn more about the Hungarian and Swedish economies as well as consumer habits. On our first day we started off our day by eating breakfast at school, which was quite peculiar to me, but it was quite nice. We visited classes about criminology, which I found extremely interesting; we got shown around the school and learned interesting facts about the Swedish school system. After school, we visited the city with some Swedish students and learned about the old town. On Tuesday we started off our day in school, where we made two presentations in smaller mixed groups about Hungary’s and Sweden’s economies. This was a great learning experience. After, we visited the Swedish Economy Museum, where I had some great conversations with Swedish students. The next day we went to school and prepared a longer presentation about the Hungarian school system. Afterward, we had an economics lesson where we went outside to compare Hungarian and Swedish prices in stores and restaurants. I really enjoyed this day; I got to learn a lot. On Thursday, we had extra time to prepare for our presentations; we finished this quite early, and as a result, we got to explore the beautiful town a little more. We gave our presentations about our student businesses and got to hear about the Swedish ones as well. It was very interesting to compare and contrast. All in all, I had an amazing time on Erasmus+ and would love to do it again. I had fun during and outside the program, and the community was one of the best parts.

In April 2025, we flew to Stockholm. I wish we had more time there, but it was still a great experience. The flights were fun, especially since I could sit next to my friends. I stayed with a host family abroad for the first time. It would’ve felt overwhelming for 7th grade me, but now that it actually happened, it turned out calm and enjoyable. Compared to Poli, the Swedish school handled Erasmus differently. We joined a few regular lessons, though some of it was in Swedish which made it hard to follow. But their teamwork and project management impressed me. We also visited the Money Museum. It was interesting, but the guide spoke Swedish despite knowing not everyone understood. My favorite part was walking in a nearby park, since it made me almost feel like we were in a real Swedish forest.

In spring I had a chance to participate in an Erasmus+ program in Sweden, Stockholm. I spent 4 days there, during this time I learnt and saw a lot. I was really looking forward to learning about their culture and experiencing their school system.

Every morning we started our day at school, where we had a buffet breakfast and lunch. After breakfast, we usually went to classes, we were in Economics and English classes in different grades. In the classes we were almost always included and we did assignments in groups. 

For me the Swedish were not so open, but there were students who were open towards us and we could have a good conversation with them, for example about the differences in school or how our student company works.

They took us to the Economy Museum, where we worked together, and we also went to Stockholm University where we received basic information and a tour. We also went to the Old Town together, where we received short reports about the sights.

I enjoyed all four days in Stockholm, I really liked the city and the programs were colorful. And I also loved the city atmosphere.

Two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be able to take part in the Erasmus program in Sweden.  It was a great learning experience, and I feel I came home with much knowledge regarding our student entrepreneurship. We were in the Swedish school throughout the days, and we also got the chance to visit an economic museum. I learnt a lot about how the entrepreneurships work in Solna, and I’d like to believe that I also passed on my experiences regarding the Hungarian system. It was exciting to see how motivated everyone was, and how curious we were about exchanging our ideas. I learned a lot about teamwork, and how to properly run a business. All in all, it was also a great opportunity to expand my knowledge.

I believed that no Erasmus will top my first one, but I consider this program unbelievably successful, educative and certainly an awesome experience. Even though our time in Stockholm was slightly limited, the swedes managed to gather as many useful activities and tasks as possible. I was honestly not expecting to gain this amount of knowledge about the Swedish government, the world of entrepreneurs and economy in general. Surprisingly, the different lessons and presentations happened to attract my attention, as I’ve learned at least five new things every single day. Needless to say, my favourite part about this project was the group, the people I had the chance to meet. They appeared to be exceptionally kind and helpful, I hope to keep in touch with some of them. To sum up, I feel incredibly grateful for this trip, all the sightseeing, the entertaining activities and of course the family that hosted me.

The past week was magical; a great team has formed from the two nations. We gained a lot of new experiences, and we also learned new things. Most of the programs were exciting because we got a close look into a Swedish school and into the economy life. For example, we had lot of lessons when we compared the two nations from many sides. My favorite part was, when we had to present our student-company and we assessed how big differences are between the two models. We also visited The Stockholm Economy Museum where we had to solve a quiz. Most of our free time was spent with sightseeing, and exploring the culture. We have visited Vasa museum, Stockholm University, which was very exciting.

My host family was very kind, and they told me a lot about Swedish habits and everydays, so I could get a better understanding of their life.

During this time, our group has also bonded; we laughed a lot and felt very good about ourselves, and saying goodbye made it even harder.

On the day of our arrival, I met my host student Ahmed and his parents, who prepared a wonderful dinner, which included traditional Swedish dishes and some Arabic delicacies. They welcomed me very warmly, and I even got Ahmed’s room. They did everything to make me feel comfortable during my stay. The next morning we woke up early to get to school and have breakfast in the school cafeteria, which luckily wasn’t too bad. After breakfast we attended a class where they gave group presentations and case studies on forensics. After that we attended an English class. We talked a lot and also learned a new game. In the afternoon we had a city tour of the old town. It was great. After that we decided to go to the Vasa Museum. It was an extraordinary experience. On the third day we had two more very exciting classes, where we played a new game that I love. Then we discovered a new museum, it wasn’t as exciting and impressive as the Vasa, but it was still a good program. On the fourth day, as part of a class assignment, we compared food prices with the Swedish students and tried and tasted some traditional dishes. Then we had some free time and my mom called me and said we should visit the fotografiská because she heard it was really good, and this plan obviously worked, but right before the museum visit we wanted to eat traditional katzhbülle from one of the best bakeries, and it was fantastic, and after the good tasting we got the fotografiská museum, which I loved. It was really funny, but also somehow very serious. And luckily I had the opportunity to have dinner with the guys at a Mexican restaurant. On the last full day before we headed back to Budapest, we had a farewell party where we received our diplomas, and after drinking and eating a very strange pizza, we went to a park, but first I bought some souvenirs in the shop. We laughed a lot in the park, and we also saw a beautiful church on Odenplan. And finally we went to the bowling alley to celebrate this week and play some good games, like billiards, boxing machines or air hockey. Then we said goodbye to everyone and all that was left was to go home. Thanks everything,

During our trip to Sweden, one of the most memorable and eye-opening experiences was attending school lessons alongside local students. It was truly fascinating to observe the Swedish education system in action and to compare it with what we’re used to at home. The atmosphere in the classrooms felt very relaxed yet focused, and the relationship between students and teachers seemed to be built on mutual respect and trust. I especially appreciated the level of freedom we were given throughout the school day. Being able to move around independently, without constant supervision, gave us a strong sense of responsibility and made us feel more like young adults than children.

Our days in Sweden were filled with many enjoyable moments. We spent the late afternoons and evenings with the Swedish students. At these times, we had the opportunity to explore the local shops, go shopping, or just relax with friends and chat after school and other activities. These trips gave us the opportunity to relax, laugh, and get closer to each other in a more relaxed environment. Overall, the trip was a valuable and enriching experience, full of learning and fun.

During our Erasmus trip, Emma and me made a presentation about our student company, BiteWise, which went pretty well. Before the trip, I wanted to improve my English speaking skills and was curious about Swedish education system, especially since students are paid to attend school there. I also looked forward to experiencing the Swedish culture, which is quite different from ours, but also has a lot of similarities. The program helped me a lot in boosting my English and confidence, especially during the presentation and group tasks, even though I was a bit nervous at first. I also appreciate the importance of teamwork now, something I didn’t value as much before. I learned a lot about Sweden’s education system and had the chance to become more independent. The experience also made me more comfortable speaking to strangers in English. Overall, it was a valuable opportunity to understand more about the world.

In March, I had the opportunity to take part in an Erasmus project meeting in Stockholm, Sweden. The central topic of the meeting was student enterprises, with a specific focus on comparing the student-run businesses of the Swedish host school and the Közgazdasági Politechnikum.

The program lasted four days and was exceptionally well-organized. Each day was packed with professional activities, school visits, presentations, and workshops. What I found most inspiring was how both schools approached student entrepreneurship. While the Swedish students focused more on sustainability and local engagement, the Poli students brought a creative, business-minded approach that was equally impressive. These differences led to meaningful discussions about methodology, motivation, and real-life skills.

Beyond the professional value, the meeting also offered a great chance to build relationships with colleagues from different countries, exchange ideas, and strengthen our partnership.

All in all, it was a very rewarding experience, both professionally and personally.

The students from Poli behaved very well and were active during the sessions. We could see that the student enterprise program in our school works just as well – if not even better – than in the Swedish school.

In the first week of April, I had the opportunity to visit Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the Erasmus+ Program, to attend ProCivitas, a private high school.

The main goal of the program was to get to know student-run businesses and exchange experiences. As a teacher, I had the chance to gain insight into innovative teaching methods and observe the entrepreneurial spirit of the local students.

Within the program, school group activities were organized for us, including classroom visits where students presented their own businesses, and we collaborated on small projects. Outside of class, activities included city tours, a visit to the famous Money Museum, and various exciting cultural programs.

These experiences enriched my pedagogical perspective and inspired me to incorporate more innovative methods into my teaching.
