My first Erasmus+ project : undoubtedly the first of many

It was with the WYA Digital Youth and Citizenship project that I made this year 2022 my first Erasmus program.

Undoubtedly the first of many, as all the experiences and knowledge that this project provided me immensely enriched me.

I experienced many adventures that made for great topics of conversation. As soon as I returned from the trip, I got in touch with different cultures through the various people I met and had the opportunity to get to know an incredible city to which I definitely plan to return one day.

I personally appreciate the ease with which it was possible to talk and meet people, I certainly undoubtedly mostly enjoyed the meals, because there we talked and debated about the most varied things, not to mention that all the dishes we ate at the Hotel were wonderful.

Regarding the project itself and the information that was transmitted to me, it was a great material that enriched my perspective in relation to the digital environment. It was especially important to know the advantages and disadvantages of this way of communication, I also received tips so I could browse the internet with a purpose that is really useful and beneficial, and I also got to know free apps and platforms where I can learn new skills.

The methods they used to teach us these things could not have been better,

The workshops were dynamic and we were encouraged to work in groups with several different people, to expose our opinions and to know how to respect the others opinion, and we had a debate experience in which we were divided into 2 groups, which was very cool and made me understand in a practical way how a debate works.

Something that this project also contributed to was my English fluency, I didn't know it would be possible to feel so much improvement in just one week, this event led me to develop a deeper interest in learning new languages.

It was one of the best experiences of my life. I thank the WYA organisation, Myriam and Moutiaa for providing me with all this. I hope that my report will serve as an incentive to participate in WYA projects for all those who aspire to develop their skills.
