Our Reflections From Erasmus+
To be able to list all that Erasmus+ had done for us, we would be far
beyond words. To sum it up, we would not be who we are today if we
had not been given this amazing opportunity. What had really affected
us and drove was to show all the crazy, incredible travels, experiences,
memories and most importantly, the friends we have made. We would
not have gone to all these cities, counties. Our Erasmus year has opened
many doors for the future, allowing us to continue carrying it out and
never forgetting it!
This program gave us the chance to travel to two European countries.
We were also lucky enough to host students from three different
countries and show them our culture and way of living. There were both
good times and bad times, but after this journey we were able to let go
of the difficulties we had and hang onto the happy memories. We made
unexpected new friendships in a very small period of time, and bonded
with people that we would never have met otherwise.
Through the interviewing process, apart from gaining skills that we
wouldn’t have spent time on otherwise, such as translating, video
editing and most importantly, interviewing the elderly, we were also
moved by the devastating stories of the witnesses, who had a hard time
explaining their story because the events were overwhelming and they
felt like they were reliving those moments.
