The Slovenia-Slovakia Twinnet<br />
The first part of Twin16: Slovenia – Slovakia took place in Slovenia between 19th and 22nd March and joined<br />
nine participants from each country for four days of amazing adventures. You might ask me what part I liked the<br />
most. Well, there was the collaboration joining Twin and Trainers on Tour for one of the best trainings I have ever<br />
attended. The joy of showing foreigners around my hometown and experiencing it through their eyes anew. The<br />
paintball session, where we cemented ourselves as a team, the early spring day and the first ice-cream at the<br />
coastal town of Piran. Even the educational programme,<br />
composed of a lecture on challenges of social pharmacy<br />
and a visit to a pharmaceutical company turned out to be<br />
a great fun. But the best part, of course, were the nights.<br />
The nights that created lasting bonds and, on the last<br />
day, parted us as friends. Luckily, we will not stay parted<br />
long as we will see each other again in Bratislava.<br />

The Slovenia - Serbia Twinnet<br />
Our Twinnet was a wonderful experience! Our<br />
lovely Slovenian colleagues welcomed us warmly,<br />
introducing us to the city of Ljubljana bit by bit during<br />
our stay. We found the educational part of our visit<br />
very diverse, interesting and useful. The topic of<br />
the exchange was “The Challenges of Industrial<br />
Pharmacy”, so we had the opportunity to hear<br />
about industrial pharmacy, get acquainted with<br />
faculty labs and also listened to a pharmaceutical<br />
chemistry lecture. Our lively group also spent some<br />
quality time on field trips. And finally, one of our<br />
last days in Slovenia was settle for our coastline<br />
adventure, setting out for Piran and Portorož. Our<br />
Twinnet was amazing and so much fun I cannot<br />
think about it without smiling! How could I not,<br />
when I have met so many lovely people and felt like<br />
we have known each other for years? Our hosts<br />
from ŠSSFD set up a rich schedule for us and I can<br />
only hope they feel we returned the favour when<br />
they visited us in Novi Sad.<br />

The Hungarian - Czech Twinnet<br />
My first organised Twinnet was an unforgettable<br />
and rewarding experience. After almost a year of<br />
communication, I did not believe it could come<br />
to a successful ending. Now I feel proud of my<br />
Czech team, as well as the Hungarian team.<br />
What I found very important, but difficult to<br />
organise at the same time, was the educational<br />
programme. I recommend that every coordinator<br />
starts planning it as soon as possible. There might<br />
be many interesting pharmaceutical companies,<br />
pharmacies, well-known specialists, pharmacists<br />
or researchers interested, but they need time to<br />
prepare to give you a lecture. Last but not least,<br />
you really do need a team you can rely on! It is<br />
almost impossible to organise the best Twinnet<br />
ever just on your own. And of course, everybody<br />
wants to organise the best Twinnet ever!<br />
