From 20 to 24 April 2026, students Laura Baksa, Klara Tomljenović and Karla Tomić, together with their teacher Ema Sesvečan, took part in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) “The Business of Sustainability – Industry in Transition”, held at the partner institution FHDW Hannover in Germany.
The central theme of the mobility was sustainability in modern business and industry, with an emphasis on the transition towards sustainable development models. The programme gave students an insight into current changes in the global economy, from the implementation of environmentally responsible strategies to the development of innovative products, waste reduction and the use of renewable energy sources. Through international lectures, workshops and teamwork in a multicultural environment, students discussed the challenges and opportunities of sustainable development and worked with colleagues from different European countries to develop concrete solutions.
One of the key activities of the programme was a visit to Hannover Messe, one of the largest and most important industrial trade fairs in the world, which brings together thousands of exhibitors. Attending the fair allowed students to learn about the latest technological innovations and the practices of leading global companies, and to understand how sustainability is applied in a real industrial environment.
The mobility week featured a wide range of activities, including international lectures, group work with mentor support and final project presentations. Through the programme, the students further developed their professional and intercultural skills, particularly in teamwork, sustainable business and international cooperation.
