1. PERPIGNAN, ERASMUS 2019: “INCLUDE ME”
At the beginning of this experience we felt
nervous, a little afraid because we had never
spoken English in a real context before.
The trip was very long and tiring, but we were
looking forward to starting this adventure.
After dinner we met the Polish guys and some
German girls.
At first it was hard to speak English, but in the
end we succeeded to make us understand.
We met funny, friendly and helpful guys.
On the next day we met French team, they made us feel as if we were at home, because
they spent a lot of time with us.
On Sunday we started the activities and we were split into four different groups… we were
afraid because it was strange.
On the next days we felt more self-confident at speaking English, also because each one
found a special person to make friends with. Though all the students weren’t the same age
the whole group had a good relationship.
On Monday we were very excited because we started the activities of dancing and singing,
and we had theatre and drawing classes… with these activities we mixed with other teams.
Another interesting thing that we noticed is that the
school system is very different from ours and the
Lycée Pablo Picasso is huge: it looks like an American
college.
While we were waiting for our turn to rehearse the
choreography, we enjoyed a lot spending time with
other teams as we started to dance all together.
Another moment we liked a lot was when a French
boy started dancing in the middle of the street and
suddenly a lady from Argeles joined him and started
dancing.
The last night was the most emotional moment
because after the pizza party there was a DJ and all together started to have fun dancing
and singing; it was a very nice moment because also the teachers had fun with us.
These were the most beautiful moments that we lived.
For this project “Include me” we had to prepare a choreography for the song THIS IS ME.
We had to try it a lot of times before departure and also once we got there.
2. Obviously we were very nervous, but when the other teams started their shows we stayed
calm.
We were very proud because some teachers of the other teams congratulated us on our
choreography and commitment.
This experience was beautiful because we met people of different cultures, we knew how
to stay together, we learned to share our positive emotions with other people and not to
judge.
At present we are still in contact with the other teams, we created a group on Instagram
where we tell our days, how we feel and if it’s everything good.
We suggest this experience to the students who want to have fun knowing other cultures
and try to speak English every day.
We want to thank all the people who have made this project possible making us feel at
home.
