• MATILDE NEVES

Hello, I'm Matilde, I'm sixteen years old, I spend my time hanging out with my friends. I like to get to know new things, I like outdoor activities and istening to music. Well, I'm a person who really likes to talk and likes to always be honest so that I can improve myself. I like to see everyone happy so I help as much as I can. About Erasmus I think it's a good programmefor students who like to get to know new things, culture and languages. Erasmus helps us learn to improve our English by interacting with other people from another country. I have already had the opportunity to go on Erasmus. I liked it a lot. At first I was surprised but as the days went by I got used to the idea and I really liked the experience and I'd like to do it again so those who have the opportunity to go on Erasmus should take advantage because it is a unique opportunity!

Hello, I'm João, I'm 16 years old and I spend my time doing lots of things like being with my friends and at the gym, I like to be outside whenever I can because I love the outdoors, I like going out especially when I'm with my friends. friends. I'm a very extroverted person because I like to socialize and I don't like being bad with anyone and I'm also a very "clown", a person who likes to make jokes with everything and everyone. About Erasmus, in my view, it is a program that helps many teenagers to learn different things such as other languages and different cultures. I, along with some of my friends, had the opportunity to go to this project and for me it was an incredible thing because it accomplished one of mine, which was flying, but the most incredible thing was meeting new people from other countries and also learning their language, which was highly it was an incredible opportunity and I highly recommend anyone who would like to go to take advantage of this opportunity to discover new things

Hello, I'm Henrique, I'm 14 years old and I spend most of my time playing or studying, watching videos and films, I also like being with my friends. I'm a person who talks a lot when I'm with friends, but if I'm with strangers I'm quieter, I like to learn, I'm curious and when I'm learning something I don't get carried away by the first thing they tell me, I'll always ask questions. Erasmus, for me, is a magnificent project, which all teenagers should be able to try, with this project we can not only develop our English but also develop our knowledge and learn about other cultures I, along with three of my friends, had the opportunity to participate in the project. For me it was an incredible experience because it helped me develop my English, make new friends, see other cultures and one day it could help me with my job. As I've already had, I think everyone should try it, it's an opportunity to develop as a person and to meet new people with different personalities and even get to know a little more about yourself.

VICTÓRIA LINDO

Hello, I am Victória Lindo, I'm 15, and I'm from Portugal. My friends often describe me as a funny, kind, and caring individual, which I believe in. My enthusiasm knows no bounds, as I am known to be rather energetic! My interests encompass a wide spectrum, including drawing, reading and listening to music. (TXT, Beyoncé, New Jeans, Mitski...) I also enjoy to play RPG games and writing, and so many other things that I currently can not think of due to my poor memory.. I derive great delight from being a cheerful person, replete with stories to tell and many stories to listen. A big quality of mine is the capacity of listening to people, irrespective of the subject matter—ranging from their passions to the trouble and problems they're having in life. About the ERASMUS project, I hold the belief that such initiatives foster cross-cultural awareness and encourage the exchange of diverse perspectives. Moreover, they provide an opportunity to broaden one's horizons, transcending the confines of home. In an era when many adolescents find themselves in, a sedentary lifestyle, characterized by studying and spending a lot of time on their phone or screens. ERASMUS projects serve as an invaluable experience, particularly for those who may be introverted, shy, or anxious, given the opportunity to interact with people with many different personalities. These programs are inclusive, welcoming participants regardless of their demeanor, beliefs, or appearance. Exploring the interests of fellow participants is both engaging and serves as a catalyst for discovering new hobbies and passions. Last but not least, these experiences offer an unexpected benefit: it helps a lot getting better in English. The continuous requirement to talk in English expands poeples vocabulary and refining their language skills. My personal experience with an ERASMUS project around the age of 11 or 12, during my sixth-grade year, was truly transforming. Since that project, my ability of speaking in English has evolved and grown, greatly useful when it comes to school works and projects, or even getting to know other people from different contries.

LARA RIBEIRO

I'm Lara Ribeiro, a student in Portugal and I can conclude that Erasmu is an important activity for the development of students.

LETÍCIA FERREIRA

Hello, I am Letícia Ferreira, I'm 15, and I'm from Portugal. My friends often describe me as a smart, sarcastic, and caring individual, which I believe in. My interests encompass a wide spectrum, including drawing, reading and listening to music. I also enjoy playing games and writing, and so many other things that I currently can not think of. I derive immense pleasure and joy from being a highly expressive and communicative individual. I thoroughly enjoy engaging in conversations, sharing my thoughts and ideas, and actively participating in discussions with others. One of my greatest qualities is my ability to provide assistance and support to others, regardless of the situation or circumstances. I take pride in being able to lend a helping hand and offer my guidance to those in need, without any hesitation. Whether it's offering a listening ear, providing practical advice, or going above and beyond to ensure someone's well-being, I am always ready to step in and make a positive difference in people's lives.

The Erasmus project is an incredible initiative that provides students with the opportunity to broaden their horizons and experience a whole new world of learning. As someone who values the importance of cultural exchange and global connections, I believe that the Erasmus project plays a vital role in fostering international understanding and cooperation. Not only does the Erasmus project allow students to immerse themselves in a different culture and gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives, but it also helps them develop valuable skills such as adaptability, independence, and intercultural communication. Furthermore, the Erasmus project not only benefits the individual students but also contributes to the overall growth and development of society as a whole. By promoting cross-cultural understanding and fostering connections between different countries, the Erasmus project helps to build a more inclusive and open-minded society. My very first experience with this project occurred when I was around 11 or 12 years old, back when I was in sixth grade. I distinctly remember how immensely beneficial it was for me, not only in terms of improving my English skills, but also in alleviating my social anxiety. It provided me with a supportive environment where I could grow and develop both academically and socially. Last but not least, I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to participate in such incredible project in the near future!

The trips I took with the Erasmus project were some of the most fun and enjoyable ever! Traveling with our friends and teachers in another country with other students is a huge cultural sharing, not only for us but for everyone who participates, we share our cultures, our country and our customs with others, we always learn more, and to be realistic, travel, learn, share, teach, smile a lot and have fun, are the words that define these experiences, we should all do it, at least once!

Hello, my name is Liliana Rocha, I'm 17 years old and I study at the Vilela school, which has given me the opportunity to take part in the Erasmus+ project. I believe that I am a responsible, altruistic, understanding, determined, optimistic, empathetic, courageous and curious person. These are the characteristics that I try to exploit in my day-to-day life and that bring me happiness, tranquility and love. Some examples of activities that I do that bring me satisfaction are reading, volunteering, listening to music, meditating, researching new subjects, and bringing family and friends together to socialize or support each other. In my opinion, Erasmus+ projects are very important, especially during the students' academic phase, as it is a very important time for the formation of ideas and personalities, and it is through Erasmus+ projects that students get to know new climates, languages and cultures of the countries involved in the project, build unforgettable moments and create bonds of friendship with the elements of the project, demonstrating that different cultures and languages can be shared and expressed in different ways in the same place, as long as there is understanding and companionship.

All this provides enormous personal and academic growth.
