❄️ ESCAPE THE COLD WITH SECCIE! 🌍☀️
Snow, ice rain, code red in Groningen… winter is really doing the most this year🥶
So grab your sunglasses, because SECCIE is taking you south!
✨ We’re excited to announce this year’s exchange destination: Zagreb, Croatia!
A vibrant city full of culture, history, cafés, and student life, the perfect place to thaw out after this icy winter.
🤝 For this exchange, we’re partnering up with Feniks, the psychology student association from Zagreb. Both weeks will include a mix of social, cultural, and educational activities, giving you the chance to experience student life abroad while making new international friends (and memories you won’t forget) ✨🍻

💰 Ticket price: approximately €275,-
This includes flight tickets, transportation, and most activities in both cities ✈️🎉
