"I engaged with new pedagogical methods, curricula, and research approaches at a renowned institution like Leiden University. This exposed me to a direct source of professional modernisation, allowing me to acquire new skills and knowledge that can be applied upon my return.

Spending 7 days at Leiden University facilitated the creation of valuable international academic contacts. These connections will lead to future collaborations, such as joint research projects, co-authored publications, and potential student exchange opportunities.

My immersion in a different academic and cultural environment (the Netherlands) boosts intercultural communication skills, a critical asset in today's globalized higher education landscape. This makes me a more versatile and internationally-aware educator."
