I Love Erasmus


The experience that I lived during the Erasmus mobility in Bulgaria was very significant and important. Thanks to this opportunity I was able to get information about a European country. Since the first day the students were very sociable and friendly and together with the teachers they welcomed us in the best way. Every day we did a different activity,  to get to know each other better: they showed us their typical dances and we also went on a school tour. Compared to Italian schools, the structure of the building is different, in fact the classes are much larger and each of them is divided according to the school subject. The teaching organization is almost the same as ours but the thing that struck me in particular was the rotation of the students in the various classes according to the subject. Even the grades change and within the structure there is also a canteen where the students have lunch every day. After school, the students took us around to show us their daily lives and I noticed that they have less freedom than us, especially in the evenings because after 9:00 pm there is a curfew. We also went on some educational excursions and visited many places and I must say that I was very impressed by the order and the cleanliness of the streets. Compared to Italy the clock is one hour ahead; moreover they have lunch at 12 o’clock and have dinner at 6 pm. I’m still in touch with the students I met in Bulgaria and we can’t wait to meet again.

Alina Lixandru-17 years old

My name is Alina Lixandru, I am now in the 10th grade. Two years ago I decided to apply for the position in one of the mobilities from Erasmus+ project Theatre Unites Europe. I had to pass an interview, a test and I was in. At that time it was the idea of travelling and to meet new people. I did not know too much about what an Erasmus project means.
So the very first mobility abroad –Bulgaria and I was part of the team. It was a life-changing experience with a lot of opportunities. I developped my English skill and I learnt how to communicate more. I have learnt that we are all equals regardlessto  what culture or race we belong to.
Friendship that we built it is the best "luggage" to take everywhere . I became more sociable, more vivid, more alive. We had fun, love, cultural experiences, tears, hugs, trips, emotions, future plans, traditional dances, music, songs, theatre, rehearsals, sweat, laughs and many unforgettable moments. To be continued…

AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

From the 16th to 21st of April 2018, I was lucky to take part in the Erasmus Project in Bulgaria, exactly in Varshets, a small village, full of welcoming and sociable people.I met boys and girls from other countries: Bulgaria, Turkey, Slovenia and Romania, all there to live the same experience.All the people I met were fundamental in making my days memorable and in enriching them.The first day we arrived, we visited the magnificent city of Sophia, then a small bus took us to our destination,Varshets. Immediatelyafter we arrived we received a fantastic welcome: snacks and sweets to make us feel “at home”. I was catapulted into a reality far from me, which quickly became my daily life: day after day, I liked that reality a lot. In the morning we had lessons then we had a lunch break with all the other students and in the afternoon we went on excursions and we spent evenings in the gardens telling stories.People were very friendly and the stories they told became more and more magical in my eyes.Erasmus Plus changes you, you do not remain indifferent. I had the opportunity to grow, to mature, to reflect and to improve my English. I had to relate to people I had never met before and to force myself to speak foreign languages. When I think about it, I miss it, yes, I miss every single thing of those days... I have the memories impressed in my mind, the photos with all those people who were a part of this unforgettable experience, that made me experience a great “adventure” called ERASMUS+
