“My time in the Erasmus+ program “Make every step count“ in Italy was truly transformative. From savoring delicious Italian cuisine, like pizza, pasta, and cheese, to connecting with wonderful people from diverse countries. Every moment was truly enriching. I had the opportunity to learn bits of different languages and immerse myself in traditional cultural dances.”
“The youth exchange in Graz on the occasion of the Urban Art Festival Styria was a truly freeing experience of days filled with creativity, dance and laughter. It is really a difficult task to capture such an enriching and creatively fulfilling exchange in just a few paragraphs. Upon our arrival, we engaged in ice-breaker activities to get to know each other, followed by two full days of exploring the city of Graz.”
“I felt that I had gained a relationship with people of great trust, with people with whom I can always have a good time, talk about important topics and finally continue our story of friendship. I can say for sure that this was the best Erasmus+ program from my experience and active volunteering, and I thank all the people who made this experience possible and all those who contributed to making this the best Erasmus+ program for me so far.”
