This April, I had a wonderful opportunity to become a participant in the two-week SPINAKER program "Excellence in clinical science" at the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. Due to this project, I could enrich my knowledge in the field of veterinary medicine and improve my practical skills. During the program, we worked in such a direction as diseases of dogs and cats. We practiced at the Departments of Reproduction and Diagnostic Imaging. The first week we attended online lectures, which were held at a high level by some of the best specialists in their field - Ewa Stanczyk and Andrea Münnich. And in the second week, we met in picturesque Wroclaw and continued our studies there, mastering theoretical knowledge in practice. The workshops were extremely interesting and full of material. We learned a lot and had a great time.

In addition to the educational part, we had the chance to get acquainted with Polish culture and learned to dance Polish folk dances, namely Polones and Krakowiak. I am thankful to the "Jedliniok" group, which created a good mood and unforgettable emotions for us!

Admittedly, Wrocław is a charming city with a rich architectural heritage and ancient history. We had the opportunity to make sure of this by visiting the city tour and seeing everything with our own eyes. Not only Wroclaw is beautiful, but there are also many historical places with incredible views in Poland. One of them is Książ Castle, which impresses with the beauty of the area and fascinates with its history. Also, Wroclaw is home to almost the largest zoo in Europe. And thanks to the organizers of the project, we had a unique opportunity to visit this zoo. It is so big that you can enjoy walking there all day. We were guaranteed a good mood and unforgettable impressions!

I am grateful to all the organizers of the program, and especially to Artur Niedzwiedz. Everything was wonderful! Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences provides such good opportunities. These are unforgettable impressions, an exchange of experience and knowledge, and a nice opportunity to meet new people and have a good time!
