The time was ticking until 1st of September, I was sitting at my room with no plan what to do after graduating from high school. The Covid-19 was pretty intensive at the moment, so I was strongly considering to push away the plans of my gap year and apply for the university. One day I have received an email which said something about volunteering in Italy. Me? A volunteer? I simply marked the email as read and never

The most important thing that I have to say about participating in this project is that I learned how to be free. Before going to Murzasichle I was really afraid and even doubted if I should go or stay home (because of the current situation of the coronavirus). Also, I had to go with my friend, but suddenly she told me that she doesn’t want to go and that was my biggest apprehension that I will have to go alone, not

Erasmus + training seminar “You(th)r Culture” lasted for a week from the 2nd of November till 9th of November 2019. There participated 41 people from 10 European Union countries: Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Croatia, Italy.

One of the most challenging things for an Erasmus student is to get used to the local culture and habits. This means dealing with a new language, a different lifestyle and other points of view.

These words are really popular nowadays and sometimes they lose their real value, but in this project I learned even more how it is important to

On the 23rd of July groups from Poland and Lithuania met in the Murzasichle in order to participate in a project called “Europeans are one family “. During the first day we tried to learn each others names and break the ice between us – we managed to do it really quickly! Then we came up with some rules which had to make our time in this project even better. One of the rules was to greet everyone in the morning

In the end of July I had an extraordinary opportunity to participate in an international Erasmus+ project “Europeans are one family“. 32 young people from Poland and Lithuania took part in this event. Together we were able to feel the unity of European people. The project took place in a small town of Poronin which was located in the high Tatra mountains and approximately 6 kilometres away from the city of Zakopane.

2019, January 13-21 we participated in the Erasmus+ project “City – make it smart”. Written by: Povilas Ščepanovič Personally I was expecting the project to consist of lectures, or something of the sort about the idea of a smart city and workshops directly influencing the city’s infrastructure, but instead I got fewer than anticipated talks about the smart city idea and a lot more socialization than I am

Justė’ thoughts on the project: This year, on January 13-21 we attended Erasmus+ project “City – make it smart” in Poland, Będzin. To be honest, I went to the project because I wanted to see another country and get a chance to know its culture . Of course, the theme about cities infrastructure modernization and improvement seemed quite interesting too.      Smart City mind map During this project we discussed c

Before three weeks I was a participant in mobility project of youth workers “International Bridge Builders” in Romania from 18th to 24th of August.  This was Erasmus+ seminar for cultural diversity multipliers from 8 different countries. So during this period I had opportunity to know more about other cultures and hear about problems in different Europe countries. First evening we had cultural diversity e
