For me, the Erasmus + project has been an unforgettable experience. This project has given me the opportunity to enrich my knowledge of the country, culture and traditions, has helped me to develop my ability to communicate in English. In the mobility in Italy we had to stay in families, a new experience for all of us who have participated.
The first meeting with families was full of emotions because we were impatient, we did not know how the parents would be, how they would behave, how they would welcome us, what impressions they would have on us, and all sorts of thoughts passed through our minds. I was really surprised by the family I lived with, a beautiful family, united, quiet, very attentive and hospitable, who made me feel great, made me feel like I was part of the family. Then came the school meeting, again I was very surprised at how hospitable the students were, how friendly they behaved and how nice they were. In the short period of one week that we spent with them we have been attached to each other so much, I have the feeling that I have known them for a very long time. They made us feel at ease and have fun, have made us laugh all the time, are wonderful and lively people.
We've tied up some extraordinary friendships that will only last for a long time, still keeping in touch and hoping to continue for a long time. The hardest time was the departure, I wept with tears of joy that I had the opportunity to meet such people, but there were also tears of sadness because we were separated from the people I had enormously attached to.
Thanks to this project for giving me the opportunity to meet places and wonderful people, I hope to have the opportunity to meet them again.
