ERASMUS PLUS – KEY ACTION 2 MAKE ME A EUROPEAN

ITALIAN MOBILITY

3RD – 9TH NOVEMBER 2016

Impressions of Italy…

The guests say….

Eleni Santi Italy, Modena Participating in Erasmus+ for the meeting in Modena, was a unique and an unforgettable experience for me. This meeting took place in Modena, Italy from 3rd – 9th November.

The city itself is magnificent and impressive. The people are friendly and kind as the result to make our visit a unique experience for all of us.

We had the chance to explore the historical centre of the city and admire the rich culture and heritage of the city. We enjoyed the city tours and also the guided tours to the Ducal palace, Pavarotti theatre, Town hall, Cathedral. We had the chance to visit the museum of Ferrari and the factory of Balsamico. It was overwhelming to come faceto-face with the Modena and Italian history.

The people are really friendly and hospitable. The teachers made us feel comfortable from the first moment of the meeting. They were incredible helpful and kind offering help and guidance in whatever we needed. Meet people from other countries, learn about their lifestyles and culture is a unique opportunity. During the meeting we discuss about our educational systems, trying to find out similarities and the differences,. We talk about our daily life, our country and our customs. As a result to come closer to each other and managed to socialize and developed the multicultural identity. Finally, teachers and students practiced theirs foreign language communication skills.

The school is well organised, there was an intensive programme for everything and the most important fact was that both teachers and students were participating in all activities with enthusiasm and wΚll. That made the whole process more interesting and active among the participants.

All the activities, like the welcome and closing reception were simple and touching at the same time. We got a quick and a useful view of the school and the Italian history.

Teachers and students gained a lot through this meeting. The interaction with other cultures is an important factor that leads to friendships and the mutual understanding of what is happening around us and especially in European countries. Through the programme teachers and students come together promoting peace and understanding between different nations. We had the chance to exchange ideas and learn about other educational systems, cultures, customs which will help us become better and why not adapting what might be suitable for us.

Furthermore the technology used to create the videos and the presentations gave us the opportunity to learn more and become more technological advanced. ‌

During my trip to Italy I had a lot of happy memories to remember. The family which hosted me was so kind and friendly to me. Furthermore, we went to a lot of places in order to learn about the best places in Modena and we had a lot of happy moments with them. I tried new tastes of the Italian cuisine and I am also very happy because I learnt about the way of living people from another country.

In addition, we went to a lot of places with the group of Erasmus+. We went to the Ferrari museum, to the Pavarotti Theater and to the Basilica of San Petrolino in Bologne.

Also we had the opportunity to be friends and speak with people from other countries and of course other civilization.

To conclude, this was the best trip I have ever done and I would like to visit Italy again.

Last month I visited Modena, Italy and I have the best time of my life. I met many people from Italy and other countries and we did a lot of things together. To begin with, we visited sights of Modena and Bologna and we learned about the culture and history of these towns. I was so excited with the museum of Ferrari at Meranello because I love fast cars. The family that they host me it was very good with me and we enjoyed all the times together.

On other hand, the food that they offered to us wasn’t good enough because we haven’t common kitchen and by extension we don’t eat the same food. Generally, all the other things that we did they were fantastic and if I were given again the opportunity to spend this wonderful experience I would do that with happiness.

Our experience in Modena with Erasmus program was unforgettable! We made new friends from Italy, Germany, Croatia and Poland, visited beautiful places (Modena, Bologna), We learnt about other cultures and customs (experience Italian lifestyle) and tasted Italian traditional food (PIZZA AND PASTA). Moreover we visited museums, theatres and landmarks (Ferrari museum and other). Also each one became more sociable, practiced our English language skills, learnt some words in different languages and we learnt to the others Greek words and some of our traditions. Our host was perfect. The families learn us a lot about traditional customs of Italy. We had a lot of fun with the Italian guys and we hope that they had enjoyed it as well as us.

Sit all together at breaks

Visited Ferrari Museum

Had dinner together

Made new friends

Last month I had the opportunity to live some of the best memories in my life. I made new friends from Italy and from other countries and we had really fun with them and spent great time there.

Firstly, the family who host me was great and I am really thankful. We saw many landmarks at Modena and Bologna and learned about different cultures. Moreover, the Ferrari museum at Maranello was great and we saw really impressive cars that we had never seen again.

There's only one think that disappointed me for a bit and that was the food. Because of our different cultures the food was not as good as we were expected but pizza and pasta was brilliant!

To sum up, visit Modena with Erasmus+ was a very good choice and if I can I will go again to meet my friends and the family who host me.

Ioannis Constantinou Cyprus

In the following text I write about the feelings and emotions before, during and after the exchange “What make me European”. But in the beginning I would like to say thanks that I could went on the journey because I have gained unbelievable experience.

At the beginning of the school year our English teacher asked us if four students want to go with her to Modena. The three other students and I were thrilled. I thought it becomes a trip with many new experiences. And some weeks later I wrote with my host student. I was so surprised when she wrote me and it was cool to write with somebody who comes from another country with another native language but speaks also English.

The weeks before it, I was excited and was glad on the trip. During we drove to Modena we laughed a lot, had fun and were exited. But I also had some fear before we left the train, what should I make if I do not manage in the family or something does not fit. But after I saw my host family and we talked before school, I was pleased about my decision to make the trip. I was happy and everything was perfect. The first day at school was unbelievable. At school everybody was friendly, open, wanted to talk with you or tell you something. Everybody was full of energy and all the time you saw something new.

The only small problem was that I was very tired from our long train trip. But after a short break at the afternoon all was fine.

Also during the lab activities everybody was very friendly if you had a problem you asked and somebody helped. Then you got into conversation with students from other countries, compared the countries and swapped information’s about the traditions, cultural things and habits of the natives. Within a day I got to know the traditional Polish food, the Croatian word for “Hello” and I visit an Italian city. And I think this is the best on the whole project. I meet so many new students from many other countries and in the same time I visit another country.

I got to know Italy in a different way. Not like a single tourist during the summer vacation, but in a big group with many native people. I learned all of the Balsamic vinegar production and so I could tasted the original balsamic (older than 12 years). Also I eat kinds of pasta I never heard before and I never read before in a restaurant. We also baked the traditional cake Crostata which I also did not know before.

We discovered the Ferrari museum, the history of Modena and Bologna and more. We visited Modena not only in the class, also with our host families. We were not only somebody which lived one week in the family, we were a part of the family, visited family birthdays, made restaurant visits in the free time and played with the small brothers and sisters. Our families were unbelievable. On Saturday evening almost all student and host families met at the restaurant. After meal we sat together and laughed, a nice memory I will not forget because the complete group will not see again.

And this is really sad because in the short time we have closed friendships.

I would do the trip again, if I have a chance. It has not only advantages, only disadvantages. You must make up for school stuff, but this is normal. You have more advantages, this was a new experience. I think in this way I could improve my English skills together with students in the same age, I made new friends and got to know the country Italy and its people. I learned so much and made unique experience.

Charlotte, Germany

Hi, my name is Pauline; I am sixteen years old and from Germany. This autumn I joined the international Erasmus project in Modena-Italy. My three friends Charlotte, Katharina and Emilia were also with me. Our trip began on Wednesday, 2. November. At 4 pm we four girls met our two teachers, Mrs. Härter and Mrs. Renger, at the train station in our home town Hildburghausen. It is located in Thuringia, the middle of Germany. We all were very excited. My friends and I decided to wear joggers, because they would be more comfortable while travelling. So we looked a bit strange. At the station we waited for the train. Everybody of us hoped, it will be punctual, because if not, the whole departure times would have been postponed. As the train arrived, we all were in a hurry to take our big and heavy suitcases into it. The train was not full, so it was easy for us to find a place to sit. We got out at a little station to change our trains. But we had to wait a long time because our train was not punctual. We felt very cold in our joggers, so we were very lucky as the next train finally arrived us. On the train it was nice warm. We packed out our provisions to eat something. Everybody of us was quite hungry.

Fortunately we had a lot of food, so we shared it. Our next stop was in Würzburg. There we changed our train to Munich. I hated this change, because we had to carry our suitcases over a few stairs. My suitcase was almost as big as me, so it was difficult for me to carry it. But a friendly man helped us. The train station in Munich is very big, so it was a bit confusing, where we had to go. We found our train and got in. The compartments were for six persons, so we all fitted in. In the meantime it was evening and we all were tired. Before we crossed the German border to Austria, we sent last messages to our families. Then our teachers switched out the light and we tried to sleep in the warm and uncomfortable compartment. In the early morning, around 5 am, the train pulled in at the station from the capital city of the Italian region Emilia-Romagna, Bologna. There was our last change to our destination Modena. So around 6 am we arrived Modena and met our guest families. Our teachers had their accommodation in a hotel. My friends and me went home with our families and had one our time to sleep a bit, before we had to go in school. At 8 am the first school lesson started. All students waited at the schoolyard, there my host girl Alessia and I met her friends and later Emilia, Katharina and Charlotte came too. Then we joined the lessons with our host siblings. After this day I was very tired, because I did not sleep much. In the afternoon I came along to Alessia´s piano lesson. She and some other girls practised a play for the welcome ceremony for the foreigners on the next day. It sounded really good and I enjoyed this besides I was so tired. After this we drove home and played some board games. Around 9 o´clock pm we had dinner. It is typical for Italy that the inhabitants eat so late. My host mum Rosanna had cooked pasta. It was very delicious but after this I was full (in Italy it is called “sazzio”). When I thought everybody was ready, they put fries and sausages on the table. I amazed about this. The Italians eat so much! Totally exhausted I fall asleep. The Italians had organized a welcome ceremony for us and the students from the other countries on the next day. In this year Italy, Poland, Croatia, Cypress and Germany joined in this Erasmus project. So some students sang other ones played an instrument. After this we split up in different groups to make some activities.

Emilia and I were in the art lab to create some stuff with clay. It was very funny. Later we all met to have dinner together. The food was typical for the region. For example we ate Mortadella, Prosciutto and a special type of bread. In the afternoon we got a guided tour through Modena. We visited the town hall and some other buildings like the opera

house. Later we had the chance to eat original Italian ice cream-“gelato”. Then we all went home to our guest families. On Saturdays the Italians have also to go to school. The program for this day was at first to bake the traditional cake “Crostata” in the school, after this we drove to a vinegar farm-. There the famous “black gold” is produced by the traditional way. Our group listened to the history of vinegar. For lunch we got typical Italian food with vinegar on the farm. We had a lot of cheese (Parmesan), sausage (Mortadella), ham (Prosciutto) and Risotto, Cake and of course Espresso. In the afternoon we visited the “Ferrari” museum in Modena. We thought it will be boring, because girls are not interested in cars. But after the visit we could say it was very interesting and nice. On Sunday we visited the “Ducal Palace” in the morning. After this we had some time for shopping with our host siblings. Then we had lunch at home and for the rest of the day we stayed with our families. In the evening we all met at a bowling centre. There we bowled and played laser tech. It was so funny! On Monday we drove to Bologna by bus. There we got a guided tour through the city and saw a lot of interesting architecture. After lunch we had time for shopping. We four girls had a lot of fun, buying clothes. Around 4 pm we drove back to Modena. Me and my family went home and had a fantastic dinner. I wonder that nearly no one of the Italians we met was really fat. In the evening I talked a bit to Alessia and her sister Chiara. Tuesday was the day of our departure. In the morning we went to school and finished our activities in the different labourites. Then we all let take pictures of us. For a last lunch we had lasagne and Italian dessert. In the late afternoon we students met at an ice coffee-gelateria-to have a last Italian ice cream. Then we went home to our guest families, packed our stuff, said goodbye to everyone and met our teachers at the station in Modena. In the late evening we changed our train from Bologna to Munich and crossed the border to Germany around 5 am. At 12 am we arrived our home town very tired and drove home. I loved this visit, because I collected so many experiences and learned a lot about Italy.

Of course it was very funny too. I would definitely do it again. And I am looking forward to the day when the Italians and the students from the other countries come to Germany.

My impressions

Our trip to Italy was awesome. The best thing there was a meeting with Italian students. Their school is really big... but let’s start from the beginning...

We left Warsaw on the 2nd November. The way to Vienna was a little bit tiring  It took 7 hours !!! Then we travelled by sleeping coach to Venice. The next day we were there. We explored the town. It is really beautiful! I felt excited because I was there only 4 times :).After that we took another train to Modena. I was happy that I would see “my” family soon.

These days in Italy were extra. We had a lot of interesting trips. For example we visited a Museum of Ferrari. The other place that we visited was a farm where people produce balsamic vinegar (aceto balsamico). We had delicious dinner there. They produce one bottle of the best vinegar in about 25-30 years! But it is more expensive than “younger” vinegar. It costs from 40 to 60 euros!!!!

One day we went to the city called Bologna. We explored it with a guide. She told us many interesting things about the city. We saw a really old cathedral church.

The visit was really exciting. I learned a lot about Italy. Italians are really friendly, hospitable and kind. I love Italian food: pizza, lasagne, spaghetti, tiramisu........ I will miss Italy for sure.

Julia - Warsaw

Impressions from Italy Our trip to Modena started on Wednesday, 2

nd

of November. We travelled there by train

via Vienna and Bologna.

On the first day of our stay in Italy we woke up very early to be at school at 8 a.m. We were warmly welcomed by our Italian friends and their teachers. They made very interesting presentations about Italy and their city – Modena. After that we were given a quiz to solve. Then we were divided into groups and took part in school activities. I went to art lesson. I made a nice ceramic rose.

After classes we had a lunch – a traditional Italian dish pizza.

In the afternoon we were visiting the center of Modena. We saw the oldTown Hall.The Town Hall occupies two sides of Piazza Grande the main town square and it is located next to historical Cathedral. Later we moved to Luciano Pavarotti Municipal Theatre.

After 6 p.m. we went back to our host families.

On Saturday, the second day, we also started our activities at 8 a.m. We had a lesson of cooking. We learned how to prepare delicious cakes and croissants. At 11 a.m. we went for a bus trip to Gaggio. We visited the farm where it is produced a famous balsamic vinegar AcetoBalsamico di Modena. We also had a tasty lunch there. After lunch, at 2 p.m. we went to Maranello to visit the famous Ferrari Museum.The Maranello Museum tells the story of Ferrari past and present. We saw there Formula 1 cars, legendary car prototypes and most significant road cars. We also went to a cinema showing films and could try semi-professional Formula 1 simulators.In the end we bought some souvenirs at a great Ferrari Store. We went back to our homes at 5 p.m.

On Sunday, the 6th of November we continued visiting Modena. We visited The Ducal Palace – Palazzo Ducale and the Cathedral. The Ducal Palace’s construction began in 1634 on design of Avanzini. It is one of the largest Baroque palaces in Italy. The Modena Cathedral is much older. It was erected in 1099 in the place where previously an early Christian church stood. It has very nice sculptures. The afternoon we spent with our Italian families.

On Monday we met at school in the morning and went for a trip to Bologna. We had a lunch at historical Paraglione town square, took a walk

on the streets, saw an

unfinished St. Peter’s Cathedraland a very tall Bell Tower. We also had a chance to do some shopping.

On Tuesday we continued our school activities. We also took part in selected lessons. I went to history and P.E. lessons. For lunch we had spaghetti and other dishes prepared by the Italian families. After lunch there was an official farewell appeal and a musical performance in which took part a choir from the Pavarotti Theatre.

I was sad to leave the Modena. I met really nice and friendly people there and had a chance to learn about Italian history and culture.

Natalia P - Poland

On the first day i had a chance to get to know Matej and Maja a little bit better because it took us 6 hours to get from Croatia to Italy. I was too tired after that plane ride so the only thing i did was meet the family I stayed at.

The day after we had the activities in school. Through the numerous group games we got a chance to meet everyone a little better. We also had to choose a class in school and I chose a music class. I don't quite remember on which day we did what but I do remember that we sang Pavarotti's opera and that it was really fun to learn a song in a different language and see how they really respect their music. One evening I had a dinner with Matej and other students in a restaurant. It was marvelous and the food was great. The part I liked the most was the palace in Modena, the interiors were breathtaking. I also liked the Ferrari museum - we had a chance to see every invention, from the first to last Ferrari car to their every part. However, there was only one Italian student who knew how to speak English but we succeed to talk to other ones with almost every part of our body. Also the food was great. I was surprised how much they can eat and they are all so thin. The best thing I had was pasta and caramel cake. It was delicious and I'm so sorry I didn't ask for a recipe.

All in all, Italy is a great place. I had a great time with friends and I would like to visit Italy again.

Karla, Croatia

This was not my first visit to Italy,but nevertheless I was very excited because I had opportunity to see what is everyday life and school education in Italy like.

I was situated with familly who live in Modena. It was very nice family with 2 kids and we had a really good time. Modena and Bologna are beautifule cities with lot of historical sights. Many interesting stories and legends are connected to them. I was impressed with medieval castle and many churches in Bologna. Modena is a smaller town with kind and hospitable people. We made a few trips to a vinegar factory and the Ferrari museum. The vinegar factory is a huge family business and tourist attraction nowadays. In Ferrari museum we saw many old and modern racing cars that catch attention with their bright colors. System of education in Italy seems more complicated than ours. They have grades from 1 to 10, go to school even on Saturday and they have some subjects we don 't. It was fun at the cooking lab and art class that we attended.

We also spent some time at school listening to their school orchestra and choir.

Journy was great, fun and educational at the same time. It is always a pleasure to visit a new country, see different culture and meet new people

Maja, Croatia

After a six hour flight I was so tired that i didn't even had the chance to meet the whole family the first day because I went to bed early. Day after that we had school activities on which we met other students. We also visited a lot of places, for example Ferrari museum and Bologna. I am a big fan of sports car so I had a great time look at those beautiful Ferrari cars. Trip to Bologna was also quite exciting. The size of San

Petronio basilica was surprising, i doubted that i would ever see something that big. Whole Bologna had a medieval feeling and that was something new to me. We also visited the lot of the family that produces aceto balsamico and had a lunch in which i enjoyed a lot there. Best place we visited was palace in Modena because of how beautiful it is on the inside.

But the best part of the whole trip was the company. I met a lot of new people from Germany, Cyprus, Poland and Italy and i had a great time with them. However the food was a little bit underwhelming. It wasn’t bad but it was less than what I have expected because of how people praise to be one of the best cuisines in the world. But i like how they drink wine after dinner. Also Italians who know how to speak English are rare so communication was also a bit of an issue.

For the end i have to say that I appreciate how everybody was trying so hard to make me have a great time and I have to say that they succeeded. All in all, it was a great experience that I would gladly repeat.

Matej, Croatia

The hosts say….

On one of the first weeks of November I had the opportunity to host a German girl. Her name is Emilia and I really liked her. She was nice and funny and the activities we made together were really interesting.

It's a project of the European Union, an exchange between people of different countries.

They came a week in Italy and we have been or we are going to their countries.

During the Italian week we made a lot of interesting and funny activities. We went to Bologna, we tried to make the “crostata”, we visited an “acetaia” and the Ferrari Museum and everything was great.

I particularly liked the trip to Bologna because we could visit the city and all its special halls and we could do shopping too.

I also liked the visit to the centre of Modena, that it smaller than the Bologna's one, but it’s also interesting and beautiful.

Here we went to the Ferrari Museum it cars it isn't the best place for you.

was interesting but if you don't like

She is Emilia, the girl I hosted and we were in front of the entrance of the St. Petronio church, in Bologna

I'm really happy because I could know a lot of fantastic people and improve my English, that, now, is a bit better. I liked this exchange and I hope to meet all of them another time.

Laura

The 3rd November I woke up at half past 4 on morning early to went at the train station for toke my host Pauline from Germany.

She was in my house up to 8th November. It was a week very tiring but fun and friendly.

In this week I talked with Pauline, played at board game, toke many pictures, ridden bike, visited many places of Modena. We had fun.

We visited the Center of Modena, the Pavarotti Theatre, the Ferrari Museum, a vinegar farm of Gaggio, the Ducal Palace and we went to Bologna city.

We also went to ate pizza at the restaurant, ate ice-cream, played boowling.

Thanks at this experience I knew new friends, visited new places and my english became better.

Me and my family we were happy to host Pauline, because she was delicius girl and friendly. We was very laugh with her.

Alessia

The experience was very interesting and very important for me because the last year I went to Croatia and for me this has been the conclusion of my experience.

I hosted Maja, she is Croatian, she is very friendly and chatty. Me and Maja had fun during the mobility.

When I went to take Maja at the airport I was very excited because I hadn’t seen her for one year.

On the 1° day, in the morning we worked in groups for labs activity, in the afternoon we went to visit the center of Modena and the Pavarotti theatre.

On the 2° day, in the morning we went to Gaggio for a visit in a farm productor of vinegar and we had lunch in the farm. In the afternoon we went to Maranello to visit the Ferrari Museum.

On the 3° day, in the morning we went to the Ducal Palace of Modena and in the afternoon we went to a shopping center and later we went bowling with the other boys and girls.

On the 4° day in the morning we went to Bologna to visit the city and in the afternoon we did shopping in the the center of Bologna.

On the 5° day in the morning we stayed at school to finish the labs activity and in the afternoon me and Maja went to the center of Modena.

On the 6° day Maja left for Croatia.

I liked the lab activity in the computer laboratory with other students but my favourite activity was when we went to Bologna because it is a very beautiful city and we could do shopping. I liked the day when we went to visit the centre of Modena that is smaller than the center of Bologna but we had fun.

This exchange has been a personal growth too. It has been a beautiful experience also

for my family.

Elisa B.

This experience of a week was unique for me. I managed to communicate with people from other countries even if they are older than me. In the laboratories we were able to communicate about different school subjects we had in common. In the time spent at home we had fun and we exchanged thoughts about the two countries to which we belong. From this experience I realized the importance of being able to communicate with people who do not live in Italy.

Alessandro

Nicholas

On the first week of November, I hosted a Cypriot girl, her name is Maria and she is a very nice girl.

At home we usually played with WII: she is a fantastic player and she won every time.

This is an Erasmus project: Cypriot, German, Croatian and Polish students with their teachers came in Italy for a week, they stayed in the families of the Italian students and they visited with us the centre of Bologna, the centre of Modena, the Ferrari Museum and some monuments of Modena and Bologna like the St. Petronio Church and the Ducal Palace.

We made a crostata cake all together and we made some labs, for example I was in the music lab and Maria was in the ICT lab.

My favourite time with them was when we were in Bologna because we could visit the centre of the city and because we could do some shopping with our friends.

I liked the visit the Ducal Palace because after the visit I stayed with my Cypriot friends and we made shopping all together.

This is a photo of me and Maria, we did this photo the last evening when we went to a party with the other Cypriot People and their Italian friends.

This is a photo of the second day and we was out of the Ferrari Museum, in this photo there are all students and all teacher of this project.

I like this activities so much because I could know new fantastic people and I learned new words in English.

I hope to meet this guys another time.

Elisa M.

This experience for me was unbelievable!

I tried to speack with people from the another country in Europe, sometimes was difficult because my English isn’t perfect but was intresting.

In the school we did the laboratories, mine was about music with my teacher, we made crostata, is a Italian cake and croissant.. was very funny..

In the time spent at home I and Sonia went out with my friends, and we watched the photo or video..

From this experience I improved my English, I knew now girls and boys very nice!

Antonela

The first day at 5.30 i went in the station. here I,Riccardo,Elisa and Gabriele our penpoal.

Riccardo with Solonas, Gabriele with Ioannis, Elisa with Maria and I with Stefani. My mother worked and we went Gabriele’s home. After 1 hour my mum has coming, we went at home and we went to sleep. The second day after the breakfast we went to school. We played a “videogame”: Kahoot; Kahoot is a “quiz game”,we lost but we had fun. After we had lunch, we had eat: the “crescentine” make by teacher Caselli. The third day we went to the kitchen and here we cooked some dessert. After we had lunch and we want to “acetaia”and we ate some food for example: hell and balsamic vinegar.

After we went to the Ferrari museum, two words: only fantastic! The four day we went to bowling and to the academy. The fifth day we went to Bologna(i don’t remember).

The sixth day we finished the music laboratory, Nicholas and I visited our class. Then we went home. The seventh day at 5.55 Stefani and her friends go her home.

Luca For me this project is fantastic.

In this project i have know Solonas, a boy of Cyprus.

I have hosted Solonas for one week.

Solonas is very funny, he is very polite and ordered guy.

With Solonas we wont to the Ducal Palace, Bologna, Acetaia and Museo Ferrari.

On Bologna I’m enjoyed because the prof. told us we were free to go for a way of Bologna.

Also in the museum Ferrari I’m enjoyed but in the Ducal Palace and in Acetaia I was bored.

In conclusion, for me the K2 project is an experience to remake.

Riccardo

I like very much the project “make me European� because I think that with this I could know other students of my own age, from other countries but from Italy too.

I hosted a German girl and I had to speak English all the time, so this made me better to speak English. I sometimes chat with her on my mobile phone, in fact I made with her a friendship in so little time.

We visited some monuments, some churches and cities, so I learned many things about these places. For example I like very much the city of Bologna, that I visited only three times in my life.

Outside the school and the activities with the teachers, I taught to my guest my tradition and my lifestyle. For example we went to my grandparents to eat our typical food, we went to my volleyball training and we went outside with the other students for some activities like bowling.

But the thing that I liked the most is the group of friends that we were. In fact I knew some guys and we had so much fun all together and I hope that we will keep in touch, at least with the Italian students.

I’m a bit sad because I know that most of the students that I met the last week I will never see again.

These are us during the visit at the museum Ferrari.
