Za mnoge ljude, Erasmus projekti podrazumijevaju zabavu, stjecanje novih iskustava, znanja, širenje kruga prijatelja, kao i učenje o drugom i drugačijem. Ni moje Erasmus iskustvo “ne bježi” od ovog opisa, ali i pored toga, mislim da je veliki izazov riječima dostojno predstaviti sve ono što sam imala priliku doživjeti. Jedan od mojih prvih Erasmus projekata desio se u Istanbulu, u Turskoj.
Nisam mogla ni zamisliti koliko lijepih uspomena možemo kreirati učešćem na jednom sedmodnevnom projektu. U avgustu 2016. godine, predstavljajući organizaciju čiji sam volonter, imala sam priliku učestvovati u projektu pod nazivom ”EUROMED Express: Social Entrepreneurship and Culture of Peace”. Na projektu je učešće uzelo 14 evropskih, azijskih i afričkih zemalja i sada sa velikim ponosom gledam na svoj doprinos istom. U Istanbulu sam imala priliku upoznati razne ljude iz različitih dijelova svijeta, a to iskustvo definitivno vas mijenja nabolje i pomaže vam da shvatite kako su kulturne različitosti najveće ljudsko bogatstvo. Trenizi koje smo tamo imali pokazali su kako je komunikacija između ljudi različitih religija i kulturnih pozadina, između predstavnika čije su zemlje u prošlosti imale krvavu historiju, vjerovatno najzanimljivija stvar kada su u pitanju Erasmus projekti.
Ne mogu a da ne spomenem prijatelje iz Jordana, Palestine, Tunisa, Egipta, Makedonije, Libanona, Mađarske, Makedonije, Italije, Srbije, Turske, Slovenije i Albanije, sa kojima sam još uvijek u kontaktu. Neke od njih već sam ugostila u Sarajevu, a neki ozbiljno planiraju posjetu našoj zemlji. Učešće na ovim projektima od vas pravi malog ambasadora i pruža vam priliku da širite vidike i razmjenjujete mišljenja sa ljudima iz zemalja o kojima znate malo, ali nakon projekta postajete bogatiji za mnoga znanja koja je teško skupiti na bilo koji drugi način! Moj savjet svim mladim ljudima je da budu aktivni članovi društva i da iskoriste Erasmus priliku koja će im sigurno promijeniti život!

For many people, Erasmus+ projects imply fun, gaining new experiences, knowledge, spreading the circle of friends, as well as learning about differences in general. Nor my Erasmus experience is far from this caption. Nevertheless, I think that it is a big challenge to say the word worthy to present all that I had the chance to experience. One of my first Erasmus projects took place in Istanbul, Turkey. I could not imagine how many beautiful memories we can create by participating in a seven-day project.
In August 2016, representing the organization whose volunteer I still am, I had the opportunity to participate in a project called “EUROMED Express: Social Entrepreneurship and Culture of Peace”. 14 European, Asian and African countries took part and I am very proud of my contribution to this project. I had the opportunity to meet many different people from different parts of the world. This experience definitely changes your mind and helps you understand how cultural diversity is the greatest human resource. The team work exercises we had proved that, when it comes to communication, people with different cultures and religions, coming from countries that have even been enemies in their past history, can sit at the same table and forget about their differences. That is the most interesting thing when it comes to Erasmus+ projects. I have to mention my friends from Jordan, Palestine, Tunisia, Egypt, Macedonia, Lebanon, Hungary, Macedonia, Italy, Serbia, Turkey, Slovenia and Albania, with which I am still in contact. Some of them have already been in Sarajevo, and some are planning a visit to our country. Participating in these projects makes you an ambassador of your country and gives you the opportunity to spread your views and share your thoughts with people from countries you know little about, but after the project you become richer for a knowledge that is difficult to assemble in any other way! So, my advice to all youngsters is: Be active members of society and take advantage of Erasmus opportunity that will definitely change your life!
