It was indeed a very nice experience. Participating in the Erasmus+ exchange program helped me see both positive and negative aspects of myself. I learned about new cultures, customs, and traditions here and met new people. I hope the friendships I made will continue in the future. Also during my studies there, I learned new teaching and assessment methodologies, which will greatly assist me in my future career. Another positive aspect of the Erasmus program was having a new opportunity. If our work goes well, next semester, I will carry out a research project with my academic advisors at the university. During the exchange program, I had the opportunity to participate in the II International Staff Week. Representatives from various foreign universities presented their universities at this event. One of the guests here was the coordinator of the Department of Education at Khazar University, Leyla Aliyeva. This year, I was the only Erasmus student at my university during the spring semester, and I was invited to attend the event as well. One of the interesting experiences I had was acting as an interpreter for a student from Italy. Since he didn't speak Turkish, the International Office asked me to help him. Through this, I made a good foreign friend. Participating in such programs develops problem-solving skills in difficult situations and enhances self-confidence. My advice to students who want to apply for the Erasmus+ exchange program is that they should take advantage of this opportunity.
