My wonderful Erasmus+ experience

I had the great opportunity to participate in this Erasmus+ project in Vereb, Hungary. It lasted 11 days but I remember that as a month. It’s been the best experience of my life: I met people from 8 different countries and I learnt a lot from their cultures.

The project was about finding a European culture that unites every country. I had never travelled before this experience, so it has also been the first time that I could practise my English. In the first three days I wasn’t able to speak fluently and I needed time even to formulate an easy sentence, but after a while, I started speaking naturally. I improved quickly because I was in a context where I was forced to learn, I needed that to communicate, and leaving my comfort zone was the best way to improve.

During the project I participated in different workshops where, thanks to the activities, I had the time to listen to the others’ point of view and discuss about our cultures, finding differences and aspects in common. We also prepared a little show where each of us sang a famous song and danced a typical dance of our country, during a festival in a town near the place we lived.

In my opinion everyone should have an experience like this because we all have a lot to learn from other people... Erasmus+ gives you the opportunity to grow in many different ways, and create friendships all around the continent that can last forever.
