Discover why Platform21’s Erasmus+ teacher training in Split, Croatia is the perfect mix of safety, culture, top-notch learning, and local food experiences.

When teachers look for Erasmus+ training opportunities, they often consider destinations like Barcelona or Florence. But did you know that Split, Croatia has quietly become one of the most rewarding and exciting places for Erasmus+ Teacher Training Mobility?

At Platform21, we believe that teacher training should be practical, inspiring, and a little bit magical. That’s why so many of our Erasmus+ courses take place in Split, a city that offers more than meets the eye: from world-class education to unforgettable cultural and culinary experiences.

Here are five reasons why Erasmus+ Teacher Training in Croatia with Platform21 in Split, is an experience you’ll remember long after your certificate is printed.

Hands-On Courses for the Modern Teacher

The days of passive PowerPoint marathons are over – Platform21 offers interactive, hands-on Erasmus+ Teacher Training courses in Split that are packed with real tools you can use in your classroom. Whether you’re exploring how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, practicing drama-based teaching, diving into project-based learning, or building digital literacy skills, we make sure the learning is active, practical, and tailored to your real-life teaching needs.

Our expert trainers create a friendly, supportive environment in every Erasmus+ teacher training in Croatia course we deliver, where laughter is welcome, questions are encouraged, and ideas are shared freely. At Platform21, you won’t just sit and listen—you’ll create, collaborate, and leave energized.

Safety First: Croatia Tops the List

Did you know that Croatia is the safest country in Europe for walking alone at night? According to a recent survey by the World of Statistics, Croatia ranks first among 41 European countries when it comes to nighttime safety.

This is a big deal—especially for Erasmus+ participants who may be traveling alone or staying in a new place for the first time. When you come to Split for your Platform21 course, you can explore the city at night, walk along the promenade, or grab a late-night snack with new friends without any worry.

Peace of mind = more focus on learning and enjoying your time abroad.

Welcome to Split: A City That Has It All

Split isn’t just a course location—it’s a living, breathing history book wrapped in sunshine. Built around Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Split blends ancient Roman architecture with a modern Mediterranean lifestyle. You can grab coffee in a 1,700-year-old square, hike up Marjan Hill for panoramic views, or hop on a ferry to nearby islands like Brač or Hvar.

With its walkable streets, vibrant atmosphere, and sea views around every corner, Split is the kind of city that makes learning feel like a holiday.

And did we mention the sunsets? You’ll see what we mean.

Food Worth Traveling For During Your Erasmus+ Teacher Training in Croatia

Now let’s talk about something very important: the food. Croatian cuisine—especially in the Dalmatian region around Split, is Mediterranean magic. Think fresh seafood, grilled vegetables, olive oil, wild herbs, and just-baked bread.

One of the hidden perks of joining a Platform21 course? Our trainers are locals who love good food, and we’re happy to share our favorite places where locals eat. Whether it’s a tiny konoba (traditional tavern) tucked in a quiet alley or a bakery with the best “burek” in town, we’ll make sure you eat well (and avoid tourist traps).

Some dishes to try while you’re here:

  • Pasticada – slow-cooked beef in a rich red wine sauce
  • Black risotto – made with squid ink and fresh seafood
  • Soparnik – a delicious chard-filled pie (great for vegetarians!)
  • Fritule – little fried doughnuts dusted with sugar (perfect with coffee!)

We believe food is part of the Erasmus+ experience—and we promise you’ll leave Split with more than just classroom knowledge.

Real Connections and International Collaboration

Platform21 doesn’t just offer courses, we build communities. Our Erasmus+ teacher training sessions bring together educators from across Europe who share stories, strategies, and laughter (sometimes over wine and cheese).

During your training in Split, you’ll have the chance to build lasting professional connections, brainstorm new ideas, and even start planning future Erasmus+ partnerships. Many of our participants stay in touch and collaborate long after the course ends.

At Platform21, we create the space where meaningful networking feels effortless and fun.
