Embracing Everyone

This Erasmus+ project focuses on the problem of social exclusion (in terms of a lack of basic skills). In order to reach this goal of inclusion we will practice new strategies and methods of teaching cooperatively and inclusively at schools and during leisure time activities. Every partner will apply one of these methods in their school environment, observe and evaluate the outcomes. During the meeting these outcomes will be discussed by all partners and will be transferred to one another. By the end of the project time, 5 strategies will have been applied and evaluated.
During the project different activities will be done by all the partners.

Experiences of the Italy Visit


This piece is written by one of the students who visited Italy as part of the 'Embracing Everyone' project. 
SPECIAL DAYS IN ITALY
The week in Italy was great. 


If I had an opportunity, I would do it again.
The experience and the knowledge we got in that one week is irreplaceable.
We made many friends, not just from Italy but from Romania, too and we still talk to each other. That one week of staying with Italian families taught us about a life style of some Italian people. They shared a piece of their lives with us, took time for taking care of another kid in their family, they invited a stranger into their home and cared for  her for a whole week. Sometimes we found some barriers in language but we defeated them with a body language or translator. But in the end we all got what we wanted.
We didn’t just meet new people we also got to know some of the history of their town and neighbouring cities. They told us about the past of their town, taught us some words in Italian, showed us how to make pasta, and how to dance zumba.
I am so grateful for the week we had. I wish more people had the chance to do that. But the week wouldn’t be so great without our two teachers and teachers from other counties, who helped us if we had any problems with the language or plans.
I don’t think this trip would be possible without good spirit and people who were open to the new experience.

    My travel diary
    I had the chance to take part in the Embracing everyone project from the Erasmus+ program.
    Having an older brother who studies in a foreign county, I couldn’t wait to see what does it mean to leave the comfortable nest of the family.
    I left with the people from the Erasmus+ group to Fossacesia-Italy. There I was welcomed by the host family and I felt the beginning of a beautiful adventure. I had the opportunity to have a young family, with two brothers, nice and wiling to replace the well-being that I was feeling at home.
    At the host school I found friendly people which enjoyed our presence. I was that stranger so far away and so different from what they knew.
    I spoke for the first time in front of a foreign audience, in front of the teachers and the project fellows from other countries (Italy, Slovenia, Turkey, England) using English. It was overwhelming that I had the honour to present Romania. I spoke dearfully and with many emotions about my country, dressed in the traditional Romanian shirt.
    What continued was learning math by playing and some words from the participating countries experiences.
    We learned to make Italian pasta, to dance zumba, and to play traditional games from the participating countries.
    But the most emotional experience was visiting Ortona, where disabled people would make paper. It was overwhelming because the disabled people helped us make paper and they enjoyed our presence and the love we offered them.
    I can honestly say that this was an amazing experience from which I had so many thing to learn.
    Erasmus is about people, friendship and the courage to leave to new horizons.

    Owing to the fact that I have been a part of the Erasmus+ project .I have also learnt plenty things and met a lot of people.
    From the first day my arrival, I Know that it would be extraordinary.The family I've stayed at was very good and took care of me and my needs.The area I went to was called Abruzzo, an area with a lot of vegetation and seaside resorts.The people were very civilized and polite.
    I have also visited their school, which was very pretty small , but very beautiful and nicely organised.The teachers were good to their students, and the pupils were also learning with pleasure the subject they tought.I have also participed at a class, a math one, were we played different games that captivated me.
    This Erasmus+ project was one of the most well organised and beautiful project I have ever joined.
    I will never forget this experience!
