My experience in Romania

Hello, here are some pictures of my friends after I told them about my experience in Romania. 

I explained them what was the project about, the activities that we did, what is Erasmus+ and what the youth exchanges are.

They were surprised and curious about these kind of projects they didn’t know anything about and, at the end, they old me that they want to leave with an Erasmus+ project to have the same experience as I did.

E-mail to my friends

        Hello everyone, 

        I am sending you this email to share with you my Erasmus + experience. 

I have been from 2 to 10 October in Romania, in Costinesti. It was a city located on the sea. 

There were 30 people from different states: we spent this experience together and collaborated each other. 

The aim of the project was youth entrepreneurship and its name was "On a mission for our society". 

We have carried out numerous activities aimed at getting to know life in the company and teamwork. We interacted each other, we created beautiful relationships, some even very important. It was a beautiful travel that I would like to repeat. 

I hope I have created an interest in you and pushed you to participate in an activity like this because it helps a lot both in the exchange with different cultures and in the knowledge of different topics that are addressed in new ways and in groups. 

Thanks.

Greetings.

A great experience I had last month

Hi there,

Hope this email finds you well.

I’m writing to tell you about a great experience I had last month.

From 2nd to 12th October, 30 people from Italy, Spain, Turkey and Romania met in Costinesti, Romania to discuss about entrepreneurship. The name of the project was “On a mission for our society”, a multilateral youth exchange under the Erasmus+ framework.

What I most enjoyed about the project was how it was structured, thanks to the non-formal education, we all learned by doing, which was one of the main point of the exchange. 

We were taught the main concepts about how to run a business starting by doing ourself our own business! 

It helps me a lot to get inspiration for my future career and to understand what it properly means to “work in an international team”.

I met amazing people full of great ideas, I established strong relationships that I’ve never thought possible to happen in such a few days. 

But all is possible when you exit your comfort zone!

That’s why I strongly recommend you to take part in a similar project.

Attached you can find some pics of the project.

Enjoy your day,

Giulia

Erasmus+ for me was like a revelation

Erasmus+ for me was like a revelation.

I realized that this is what I want to do, that it is an experience worth having several times in this life, and I consider myself lucky that I was part of this wonderful project in which I rediscovered myself and I realized what I had to do when I got home to my business.

We met wonderful people and made wonderful friends, I hope to see you all again!

Thanks to all for this experience!

Life in Erasmus+

"On a mission for our society" ... when I think of this unique experience I lived, the following come to mind: curiosity, adventure, information, a lot of information, closeness, friendliness, family, sea, relaxation, fun, amusement, adrenaline, enthusiasm, freedom of expression, laughter, crying, activities, many activities, in three words: "Life in Erasmus+".

I thank those involved, those who made this opportunity for all of us!

Thank you to the Universe for being in the right place, at the right time, with the right people!

The games, warm and cozy environment that we shared with foreigners caught their attention and made them curious about attending such Erasmus programs. Especially the main point that attracted them was the education being informal, rather than the ordinary classes they have in university, another enjoying way of learning was found different by the students.” NURAY TALAY

“This Erasmus+ project was my first experience. It was also my first abroad experience. And I received training about entrepreneurship in a fun way. We played different games in these activity. We usually divided into groups, made different presentations and played games in different styles. The initial aims of these games were for us to mingle in groups and come up with common ideas. For example, we prepared a theater in one of our plays and these were the most entertaining parts. After our training, we held Culturel Nights every evening. In these cultural nights, a different country talked about its own culture every day. And they offered food and drinks of their own culture. Thus, I got to know different cultures and made many friends. It was a nice experience for me.” SEDA YILDIZ

“I was in Romania thanks to the 'On a mission for our society' project. It was a 10-day project. We did different activities every day for ten days. These activities were a fun activity that strengthened our social skills. I had a great time there. We tried different cultural dishes of Romania. I made new friends from different cultures and nationalities. We visited the city of Constanta and learned about Romanian culture. I also gained knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. I learned how entrepreneurship is supported in different countries. I learned which sectors are advancing. We learned the subject not through a formal course, but through activities and fun games. It was a very good experience. Also, this was my first abroad experience so contributed to the improvement of my English.“ AYŞE ALTINKAYA
