Ciao! Mi chiamo Marianna e ho 29 anni. Durante gli studi universitari ho vissuto un anno in Turchia con il programma Erasmus e l'anno scorso sono stata 4 mesi in Irlanda con un progetto Leonardo, lavorando come educatrice presso un centro giovanile. In Italia ho partecipato all'organizzazione di un evento di Youth  in Action e da quest'esperienza è nata un'associazione che promuove progetti di sviluppo territoriali, ed in particolare è stato sviluppato un progetto di cohousing giovanile. Attualmente lavoro nella progettazione europea e come formatrice per i giovani. 

 

Hi!I'm Marianna and I'm 29 years-old. During my studies at university I spent one year in Turkey with the Erasmus program and last year I was 4 months in Ireland with a Leonardo project, working as educator in a Youthreach centre. I took part to the organisation of a Youth in Action event in Italy and from this experience arised an association with the aim to promote local projects for young people, a cohousing project in particular. I'm currently working in the field of European projects and  also as a youth trainer. 

 

Mi chiamo Angela Petruzzelli, ho 27 anni e sono pugliese.

Dopo la laurea triennale in Lettere e Cultura dell’Antichità presso l’Università degli studi di Bari e un semestre come studentessa Erasmus a Parigi, ho studiato all’estero nell’ambito del programma Erasmus Mundus durante il biennio di specialista, in Scozia, Francia e Portogallo, laureandomi l’anno scorso in lettere comparate e antropologia.

Dopo un anno di lavoro a Bari, in Puglia, ho deciso di investirmi in un progetto europeo che potesse essere interessante e formativo e potesse offrirmi una prospettiva nuova e diversa da quella offertami dagli studi.

Ho dunque mandato varie candidature ed ho iniziato il mio SVE a Dinan, della durata di 9mesi.

Qui, lavoro con l’associazione Intercultura e do una mano sia nella gestione di progetti europei sia nell’organizzazione di eventi locali, con la comunità e i giovani del posto.

Questa esperienza mi sta permettendo di scoprire giorno dopo giorno una cultura ed una lingua nuova e di acquisire competenze importanti, sia a livello personale che professionale; la reputo un’esperienza importante anche perché mi aiuta a sentirmi ancora di più una giovane cittadina dell’Unione Europea.

 

My name is Angela Petruzzelli, I am 27 years old and I come from Puglia, in the south of Italy.

I studied in the University of Bari, and after my bachelor degree in Classical Antiquity and Archaeology and a semester in Paris as an Erasmus Mundus student, I studied in Scotland, France and Portugal as an Erasmus Mundus Student during my 2years Master studies. I graduated one years ago in Comparative Literatures and Anthropology.

After one-year work in Bari, Puglia, I decided to invest myself in a European project that could have been interesting to me and in order to have a new, different perspective.

I sent different applications to some EVS project and I finally started my 9months Volunteering Service in Dinan, in October.

Here I work with the cultural association Intercultura and I help in the organization of European project and in the setting of cultural events with the youngsters and the local community. This experience is helping me in discovering day by day a new, different language and culture and to acquire personal and professional useful competences.This experience it is for me important also because helps me to feel more and more a new European citizen, part of a United Europe.

Salut, moi c’est Andréas, 27 ans, breton, j’habite et étudie l’animation culturelle à Rennes. Je travaille également à Dinan, avec l’association « Intercultura » en parallèle de mes études. J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer beaucoup d’étudiants ERASMUS (et autres programmes d’échange) durant mes études. Ces rencontres m’ont donné, me donnent et continueront de toujours me donner l’occasion de voyager à travers le monde.

J’ai vécu plusieurs mois en Grèce (Athènes, Patras), en Italie (Milan), et surtout 2 ans en Angleterre (Exeter, Bristol). Voyages que j’ai eu la chance de partager ensuite avec des groupes d’adolescents grâce à mon travail d’animateur jeunesse.

 

Je fais le choix de reprendre mes études dans l’animation interculturelle pour m’investir plus professionnellement dans des projets qui me tiennent à cœur et touchent aux valeurs humaines, d’échange, et de solidarité.

These meetings gived, give, and continue to always give me the opportunity to travel around the world.

Je suis Pierre, je viens de Dinan et j'ai 27 ans. Après la fin de mes études supérieures, il y a quelques années de cela, j'ai commencé grâce à l'association Intercultura à participer à différents projets européens (échanges de jeunes, Grundtvigs...) à travers l'Europe, mais aussi au-delà. J'ai ensuite fait un SVE en Italie dans une association que j'ai connu dans ces projets. Ayant appris l'italien j'ai pu trouver du travail sur place et rester une année de plus. Je suis maintenant à Bucarest vivant plein d'autres expériences! 

I am Pierre, I come from Dinan and I am 27 years old. Few years ago, after being graduated, I left the university and, thanks to the association named Intercultura, I took part in several european projects (youth exchanges, Grundtvigs...) all around Europe. Then I did an EVS in Italia in an association that I met during these projects. Having learned how to use italian I was able to find a job and stay one more year in Italia. Currently I'm living in Bucharest and experiencing a lot of new situations!
 

Hi there.

This is Steli from Romania. I’m involved in volunteering activities since 2010. I can say that I discover me through volunteering. I live in a small town called Baia Mare in the north part of Romania. I had the oportunities to move to other cities and countries but I said no at that moment and also this days I think that is gonna be hard for me to move from here.

Friends and the independence are two of the values that are part of my believes. Ready to meet new people everyday, interested in finding cool places to spend my free time, involved in different type of activities, cooking, dancing, reading books about personal development are few sentences that describe my personality.

27 years old, living alone, writing on the blog, taking care of 200 wallnut trees.

Hi! My name is Carol and I come from Terrassa, near Barcelona. A year ago I decided I wanted to be involved in all kind of Erasmus+ activities, let's see if I succeed! Currently, I’m in my last year of Political Science and I would like to take a specialization doing an Erasmus Mundus MA on Gender equality, according to my Erasmus+ program ambition. But before that happens, fortunately, I will do an Erasmus in Scotland.  At the same time, I work in the International Relations office at Uni and I do volunteer in La Vibria Intercultural. I have been participating in different international projects such as training courses or youth exchanges focused on Social Economy, Food Revolution or in environmental issues. However, I had my best experience last summer doing an Erasmus internship and living in the south of Italy for three months! 

 

Hola! Me llamo Carol y vivo en Terrassa, una ciudad cercana a Barcelona. Hace aproximadamente un año decidí que quería participar en todas las actividades englobadas bajo el programa Erasmus+, a ver si lo consigo!! Actualmente estoy acabando my grado en Ciencias Políticas y me gustaría especializarme haciendo un máster Erasmus Mundus sobre estudios de Género y así añadir una experiencia más a mi ambición sobre Erasmus+. Pero antes de que nada de esto pase, haré una estada Erasmus en Escocia! Combino mis estudios con el trabajo en la Oficina de Relaciones Internacionales en mi Universidad y con voluntariado en La Vibria Intercultural. A día de hoy he participado en diferentes proyectos internacionales centrados en Economía social, Food Revolution o de temática relacionada con un medioambiente sostenible. Sin embargo, la mejor experiencia la disfruté este verano haciendo prácticas Erasmus y viviendo tres meses en el sur de Italia!
