Good practices in EU Youth- Italian Team: Amici del ViIlaggio.

I arrived in England without many expectations but when I got there I immediately noticed how fantastic and useful that week would be! I learnt a lot about other countries and also about the theme of the project. I learnt how to speak English better. But especially I met fantastic people with whom I could shared a lot of ideas and opinions with, I could discuss with them about different topics and made new friends! I also realized how useful was this project to learn how to communicate, get on well with other people, and face our fears about staying far away from home. I had a lot of fun thanks to the activities and the free time where I could play, dance and joke with other people. We discussed very interesting and important topics for our future, I came back with a lot more knowledge than I left with so thanks everybody for this experience and I hope to enjoy another project like this one.

It was my first project abroad and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to live this experience. At first, I was afraid because I had to talk to other people in a foreign language, but just after a couple of days I felt very confident and thank to this, I had the chance to communicate with people from all over the Europe. Moreover thanks to this project I was able to learn about different European educational systems with all their positive and negative aspects. This made me think about how the Italian educational system could be improved. Furthermore this project encouraged me to leave my comfort zone and face other cultures' realities.

This was the first project I had ever been involved in and it was probably one of the best experiences of my entire life so far. All my expectation were exceeded and I’m looking forward to participating in some other project similar to this one. It was great to live all under the same roof and this definitely helped us to get to know each other. My communication skills got better each day that went by. I’m so proud of all the work we’ve done and the information I’ve picked up during my staying. I was pleased to express my ideas, see them turn into reality with the help of other people who shared my same opinion and I was amazed to see how communication only can solve problems. I’m so grateful for the opportunity I was given and for the friendships I built there and still have now. I met some truly amazing and hard working people who were kind to me. The activities were so much fun and interactive, everyone could share their own opinion on the topics. It was also very interested to learn about all the different educational system of the coutries that took part in this project. Summing it all up, the location was marvelous, the food was delicious, the people were brilliant and so were the members of Romanca Society, who organized this project wonderfully and I really hope to get to work with them again in the future.

By now it has been almost three weeks since the project has finished and the more time passes, the more I realize how  much this project has been important to me. It has spurred me to get more involved into things and to face my fears. Thanks to this project I had the opportunity to discover cultural differences and similarities and to discuss different national realities. Learning more about other countries, I became more aware of my own cultural background. I learned to inform myself more, ask for help if necessary and to be precise in giving answers to participants' questions. I learned to observe and learn from others. Thanks to the project now I know more about school systems, religion and food of some other European countries and I became more confident in expressing myself in the English language in front of a large group of people. It was a great and very useful experience, and I want to thank all the people who helped in making this project possible.

On the 9th of March I left to spend ten days in England to do this project with four Italian mates. Day by day I learnt a lot by talking to people from different backgrounds and cultures. This experience gave me the opportunity to learn things about the educational systems of other countries and to analyse the problems of the Italian one. Everybody was interested and put something of themselves into the activities. What was truly fantastic was working together for a purpose. The best thing was to see that everyone was listening to other people's opinions, and even if they disagreed, they would still respect them. I'm happy and proud of being in this group and I want to thank you all for everything you've done.
