FROM A FAR AWAY LAND | Page 10

Being in this Erasmus+ project was a real opportunity and at the same time a very beautiful experience. On this occasion, I managed to meet new people, improve my English skills and visit some amazing, beautiful places with a great historic past. I had the chance to see a very far away land when I arrived in Faro, Portugal. I was particularly impressed by the architecture and the way they decorated their homes. They decorated them with hand-painted wall tiles. On almost every house you could find such decoration. They had an area with abandoned blocks of flats, but very cheerful and full of life. All were painted with graffiti, a true artwork.

I learned many things in this project. Cultures may seem different, but we are all the same, we are all human beings. For example, I got on well with a Turkish girl. I found we had many things in common. I also made some new friends.

This project included many fun activities, but it made us aware of the refugee crisis in Europe and how we can get involved and help improve this major issue. I would like more children to get involved in this project; they have a lot to gain. All they have to do is to be eager to get involved, to be active in the activities that make up this project and be hardworking. It was a beautiful experience and I am glad that I had the chance to participate in the Erasmus + project.

Erasmus+ was for me the chance to see that you can benefit from your work.

Erasmus+ is a great opportunity for all the teenagers who want to travel, know different cultures, different people and other places.

With Eramus+ I was in Portugal, in Faro. It is a small city with great places, old buildings and great architecture.

This experience helped me because I improved my English language speaking abilities by making new friend from all over the Europe - Italy, Turkey and Greece and of course Portugal.

Erasmus+ offers wonderful chances for serious teenagers to shape their future!

Erasmus+ was an amazing chance to meet new people, learn many things and visit some beautiful places.

I think many teenagers must join this kind of projects. For me it was a good experience. The students and the teachers were very friendly with me and my group. I spoke with the Turkish group and their teachers and now we are good friends. With Erasmus +, you have the chance to visit other countries. I had the chance to go to Portugal, into a small city called Faro. I liked so much the architecture and the story of the entire town.

This project was full of activities that motivated me to improve my English skills. I recommend Erasmus+ for every student, interested in KNOWING – cultures, people,

information, the world… If you work hard and want to join in, you’re welcome. Our teachers supported us with everything.
