Erasmus is an opportunity that offers young people the opportunity to work abroad, learning the various cultures, the various languages and the different gastronomy.
This is a project where more schools have participated internationally. Our “Ipssart G.De Carolis” of Spoleto, the Polish school of Szczytno and the Croatian school of Split.
This experience, unfortunately for us, ended about a month ago, when we came back from Croatia. Recall the various stages: the first in Spoleto in April 2017, the second in Szczytno in October 2017 and finally in Split in April 2018.
For us guys it was a fantastic and unforgettable experience, where we met other foreign peers, perfected our English, discovered new cultures on the historical, gastronomic and linguistic level with small interactions of the various languages. The project focuses on the various methods of processing fish and on the cultural exchange of these three countries. During this year we have visited new places, made new friends that we hope to keep for a long time or forever who knows … Beyond the various pros, there were also cons, especially with regard to communication, in particular in the first stage, when we still did not know each other and make ourselves understood it was quite complicated, fortunately we had with us all the time the teachers who helped us to better interact with all the participants.
The final phase was perhaps the most beautiful in some ways, but also quite sad because we no longer have the awareness of being able to see again in the future.
Let’s say that the stage in Croatia was more exciting, compared to the previous ones, because we had already learned to know each other and love each other; but also because there was a breathtaking landscape thanks to the sea of Split.
We would like to thank the professors who accompanied and supported us in the various destinations, starting from the professors Quintili, Chiocchi, Testaguzza and from the Antimiani, Passerini and Bianchini professors And thanks also to our companions with whom we shared this wonderful experience.
