Mobility in Italy (by student Larisa Jeklar): Traveling to Sicily was a great experience. After landing in Catania and on our way to Comiso, we observed an interesting landscape which is different from ours. There are many plains, vineyards and plantations. We took a look at many interesting locations. These were churches, a museum, a library, a mill and the city of Syracuse. We visited the school. We had various presentations of Erasmus + countries. We stayed with different families and got to know Italian culture. Socializing was a lot of fun. Italians are very open and sociable. Traveling and socializing was very interesting and fun. It makes me want to visit some other countries.
