My experience in Greece


    Saverio Lacava ( 17 )

From the 4th  to 11th  March I had the opportunity to participate at Erasmus project with my school, where I met   six countries:  Spain, Estonia, Romania, Turkey, Poland and Greece, in the city of Volos, Greece. It was the first time I was traveling by plane, and I had some fears, which I overcame  soon, and  also the first time I  travelled abroad. I was impressed by the hospitality  of Greek people and students,  because we soon became friends. I also liked  the waterfront and magnificent harbor of the city. When I was at school I did not understand how was important to study English, but when I was in Volos, I realized  that this language is fundamental  to communicate among  friends and for a  future job .  On the other hand I was  disappointed by  Athens, because I saw so many poor people in town , begging and sleeping on the streets. The Acropolis instead was impressive! I hope to meet all my new friends again!

From the 4th to 11th March I had the opportunity to partecipate at Erasmus project with my school, where I met a lot of people from six countries: Spain, Estonia, Romania, Turkey, Greece and Poland, in the city of Volos, Greece. It wasn't the first time I was travelling by plane but this time was different. I was impressed by the ospitality of Greek people because we soon became friend and there were so friendly with the people of the other countries. I liked the city of Volos also. I spoke English and I understood how it is important and to me very important because I want to travel in other countries to work. I also realyzed that this language is foundamental to comunicate among people. One of the activity I liked was how to write a C.V. and I think it will be very helpful to me. The Acropolis was Wonderful and Meteora too. I really hope to make a new experience in Europe!

From the  4th to 11th of March with two of our teachers and two classmates, we were hosted in the city of Volos for the Erasmus + project “ DROP OUT- Coaching at school”. For me it was the first time abroad and it was an unforgettable experience with the collaboration of students from  Volos  who had made the meeting in Greece a beautiful memory.  The first two days we have done planned activities in their school and as welcoming  we have danced tipical greek dances……..what a fun!  then we have tried some tipical food and we have exchanged some gifts from our country. At the end of the ceremony they took us in the hall meeting where a teacher  told us about the activities planned for us,  the European CV and the Job Interview, and the essay “ I have a dream…..” . We  have also  participated  at a seminar  about labour market in Europe at University of Thessaly.

At then end of the activties, we have visited Meteora, in particular the monasteries of the XV century, they are heritage of UNESCO. On Thursday we have visited a factory of table olives that produces mainly  for  export all over the world,and  a factory of soaps  where we have seen the process of production. Returned at school they have given us the certificates of attendance  and a journalist has interviewed a student for every participating country. In the evening, the latest in Volos, we went  in a restaurant where we have listened greek music. The next morning we left Volos to go and visit Athens where the guide has brought us in the Museum of the Acropolis and then we have visited the real Acropolis and the Parthenon. My first experience abroad has come to an end…. But here  I’ve realized that the world is varied  and it’s beautiful  and I’ll bring in my heart the moments and the people than I have known for ever.
