My Erasmus experience was absolutely amazing! 

During my last year of high school in 2021, I decided to prove to myself that I was old enough to live alone in a foreign country, so I decided to apply for the Erasmus project which gave me the opportunity to spend a whole month in Poland. I really enjoyed my time in Poland; my week consisted of 5 days of “work” and two days off, during which I had the opportunity to visit the country. My job was to work in a very interesting agency, the aim of which is to organize all kinds of events, from local, through much larger ones, to much smaller ones that focus on building integration experiences for employees. The experience I gained from the time spent in the agency was very large: I learned how to search for specific information on the Internet, how to present a vacation offer or an event proposal, how to establish contacts with companies and cooperate in creating something consistent and suggestive. 

Overall, I learned a lot from my experience and so much more, I had the opportunity to improve my English and learn a little more about other languages; The intercultural environment that I found during my stay in Poland also helped me to improve my relationships with other people and better understand someone else’s culture. 

I really enjoyed all my experience, from the organization to the activities I was able to do in a country I have never experienced before!
