The school was beautiful with all those art pieces on the walls.
Through
the project’s activities we learned how violence can appear in different forms
and how we can fight it. I was impressed by the way the school pays great
attention to the martyrs of violence in Sicily through the Memorial in the
school hall and the graffiti we did together.
The
family that I stayed at was very nice and friendly.
The
other kids were friendly and we made strong bonds between us.(SOFIA TOLBARU)

The experience in school was great! The Silvia’s family where I’ve been hosted was
very kind and very nice. They were very thoughtful with me. Every day they gave
me traditional food – I love “pasta”. I learn a lot about the lifestyle of our colleagues.
This
was my first time in Italy and the city was very beautiful. I will miss the
family and Italy! (MAIA MALUREANU)

The families in Italy are very kind to the guests. The children
from Italy are very understanding with all the others and they have some very
strong connections between them.
Bagheria
school is a school with many opportunities, teachers are very intelligent, full
of understanding and help pupils understand their subjects – they work
together. I made a lot of friends with Italian students but also the others
students from Turkey, Spain and Denmark. We changed the e-mails and WhatsApp
connections. We work together and it was just perfect. I liked a lot this experience,
I love Italy and Italian people.💕

This was my first Erasmus+ mobility. Bagheria really surprised me with its beauty
and kind people. I felt welcomed and I had the chance to make new friends and
learn about different cultures. I also learned about the really life and
problems that the Italian students have. I thank to my teachers, to all the
teachers that give us good education. Thank you Erasmus! (MARIA MERDESCU)
