Effie's Erasmus+ story

The "ECA" program we participated in was a unique experience that brought together young people from five different European countries: France, Poland, Greece, Portugal and Italy. Throughout the program, we had the opportunity to bond with each other through various activities, but one that stands out is the lake hike.
This hike was not only a physical challenge, but also a bonding experience. As we headed for a secluded spot where we could swim, we had to work together, helping each other navigate the terrain and find our way. The spirit of cooperation and support we developed during this trek defined the entire program.
In addition to physical activities, we also shared our cultures with each other, introducing traditions such as food, music and daily habits. This cultural exchange was one of the highlights of the program, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of each other's backgrounds and lifestyles.
In addition, the program provided a platform for meaningful discussions about the issues facing our countries from the perspective of young people. We talked openly about the challenges we face in our respective nations, and this exchange of ideas helped us gain new ideas and perspectives on how we can collectively address these problems.
Overall, the "ECA" program was a remarkable experience that not only cultivated friendships, but encouraged us to think critically about the role of young people in shaping the future of Europe.
