Absolutely. I can't even count how many incredible things that you would never otherwise experience in your life are waiting for you. From seeing different cultures, different people to getting to know their traditions and their history, their historical sites and museums. All in all, definitely check ERASMUS out.
Definitely i recommend it because its a chance for see a different culture and give so many experience.

Yes, I would recommend the Erasmus project to everyone. Because Erasmus is an amazing opportunity for both education and improvement of social skills. While learning about other cultures, their traditions, state of mind and country overall, talking, understanding each other and simply spending time together is intertwined altogether and that's what makes this project so important and perfect in every way possible.
I would recommend it to everybody. Because of the incredible opportunities it offers, students as well as teachers.
I think definitely yes, because such an experience I got is very valuable and unforgettable.
yes because it is a way to make friends and share experiences and culture

I would definitely recommend it because it's a really fun adventure and you can know for sure that you'll have fun
Yess. You can meet new people and explore new locations too. Also, you van learn new words and improve your English.
Yes, because in addition to being able to travel to another country and get to know it, it is an experience to feel independent, out of our routines and from which you take wonderful moments and people.

Host Evaluation
How did you feel during your mobility in Romania?
Very good.
Being my first mobility I felt wonderful and the people were extraordinary
It was the most beautiful week at school in my life. I enjoyed the activities, I enjoyed the company. I made new friends both from other countries and from school.
Wonderful
FB
I felt wonderful. I am glad that I had the opportunity to develop my practical and communication skills.
During the mobility in Romania I felt at home, which probably seems a bit strange to say, because now all those in Romania were actually at home, but this experience changed a little the meaning of the word home, giving it some nuances. The school seemed different, even though I had seen it so many times, everything was different. Now, when I say the word home - "home" includes them, all the wonderful people I've met along the way.
What activities did you enjoy? In which activity do you feel most involved?
My favourite activity was the activity in Sibiu because I felt that I got involved the most in it.
My favourite activity was the one with the woodcut workshop. It was a fun and interesting way to print.
I really enjoyed the musical activity, as well as the trips. I also enjoyed the woodcut activity.
The excursion to Alba-Iulia and the one to Sibiu, the excursion to the citadel. I felt the most involved in the activity on Thursday, at the woodcut.
All. The closing ceremony was the most emotional.
I liked each individual activity, but the most I feel that I got involved in the woodcut workshop.
I liked the traditional jewellery workshop the most, because it was based on an activity that I like a lot - crafting. I think that I was most involved in this activity, together with the woodcut workshop and the presentation of the toys.
Did you learn to do something new that you could share with others around you?
I learned new words in Polish.
I learned to use a tube of musical notes
I learned to use musical tubes.
I learned that there are differences between cultures and types of thinking.
Many, first of all to get more involved.
I learned to sing at boomwhackers! :)
Yes, I learned how to play with a puppet that the children in Spain presented.
Did you make new friends? Have you kept in touch with them?
I made new friends from several countries but did not keep in touch.
I was able to talk to each of the children from other countries and I am happy that we kept in touch and that we are still talking
I made many new friends. We kept in touch shortly after they left, but now we don't talk much…
Yes Yes
Yes
Yes!
Yes, we talk quite often.
Upload a photo that belongs to you and is representative of this week.
Would you encourage a colleague to participate in Erasmus projects? If so, why?
I would encourage every colleague of mine to participate in this activity because they will learn new things and make friends.
One hundred percent, it's an experience any student would love.
Definitely, Erasmus offers many opportunities: visiting a foreign country, getting to know different cultures, bringing you new friends, but above all, Erasmus means self-discovery.
Yes, it opens your perspectives and develops you personally.
With all confidence
I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to participate in one of the Erasmus projects. As I mentioned before, such a project represents a unique opportunity to develop both your practical and communication skills. you have the opportunity to spend unforgettable moments with wonderful people, people whose existence you wouldn't have known if you hadn't taken part in one of the mobilities.
Certainly, the most important reason would be the new experiences you accumulate in projects of this kind
Do you want to add anything that was not asked? If so, please do so below. If not, thanks for the answers.
I am glad that I could and that I was part of this project, both in France and in Romania. It was very beautiful.
When will the next project be?
C. Host parents’ testimonies
‘An extraordinary opportunity for all those involved, students and parents alike. We were delighted with the way the teachers organised the week.’(Theophane’s and Yaiza’s host mum)
‘A wonderful, interesting and educational experience (and for us, the parents). Our family would repeat this experience any time. (Polina’s host mum)
In conclusion, the Erasmus programme proved to be a great experience for all the students, parents, teachers and local community involved in this mobility. Let us not forget these moments and learn from this experience that has changed our lives and opened our minds.
