ERASMUS+ A FRANÇA

MOBILITY IN FRANCE. THE PROTAGONISTS

Mª Magdalena Nicolau

The last week was one of the best weeks of my life. I made a lot of friends, met loads of great people and enjoyed as much as I could that awesome experience. 

My host family was very kind and friendly. They showed me how good is French food and made me love their culture, we visited different places from France and had a lot of fun. They are, as all French people I met, very cheerful, friendly and funny. Even if they didn't know a lot of English we learned a lot from each other and enjoyed a lot our time together. The school was very nice and cute, the teachers were very friendly and the students were also friendly and very funny. I had a lot of fun with my group even if I was the only one from my country. 

I hope I can see all my new friends again soon.

The week that I spent in France was very good. I like it so much, I met a lot of friends, I learned English and I discovered a new culture, weather and gastronomy.

First of all I want to remark the very good family that I had. All of them took me very very well. The house was perfect all the day, the food delicious and all of them were very friendly. Of this part I was very happy because if I have to spend one week with a bad family, this experience it would not have gone well. But at this aspect I was very fortunate.

The activities that we did in the school I think that they were very good, because they push you to communicate with the others. And like this, you learn a lot of English. In the acting group, my group, we did a good work, and we made a little actuation about the social media, the theme of the week in France. A good theme because a part of us live in the social media and we have to control us when we browse in the Internet. And the others groups made a very good work. The dancing group with their modern dance, others groups with their very elaborated videos and the quiz about the social media. All the Erasmus+ people work very hard.

About the friendly, all the countries get along. And we made very good friends that we hope to see them again. They were all very friendly and funny.

And finally, my conclusion of this week is that it was a perfect week. I like it so so much and I hope I can repeat it because it's worth it. Maybe is a little short one week, but for start this kind of exchange is perfect. I recommend it.

I would change only one thing, the work we did of social media. I think it was a little bit boring, we could do more funny things, but it was interesting, and very funny, when everybody showed us their work. But all the other things were perfect, the family too. The day I liked most was on Thursday, when we went to Paris, it was a really good day. 

We haven’t learnt a lot of english, but we have learnt not to be afraid of speaking it, we can communicate with other people in english, even if we don’t know it. We have also learnt a new culture and to be far away of our friends and family.

I would have stayed there for a few days more. It has been a very good experience.

March 11th we went to France to spend 10 days Exchange. The first two days we were in Paris and I really liked the capital, then the other 8 days I was in a village called Brou, living with the family of a girl. The family was very educated and very nice with me. Worried enough for me, since I was not very well because I was ill. Every day we were going to the school, the school was quite well, teachers and students were friendly and the food was good. 

For me this experience has been a personal challenge, I'd like to be able to repeat it.

We have known another culture, other customs and we have learned to live with a family that we did not know.

This week that I past in France it was a fantastic week. The first day when we arrived, we visit all Paris, I think it's a beautiful city to visit. At night we meet the Denmark girls, and we went to dinner together. The next day at the morning we visit Paris again and in the evening we went to Chartres to meet the family. I past this week with a fantastic family and I do a lot of friends there from a lot of different countries. I hope I see they again. I want to repeat this fantastic experience. 

A WEEK IN FRANCE

Paris

The third mobility of our project took place in France and it started on the 11th of March. Again, seven students of our school had the chance of being part of this experience. This time, it was Mª Magdalena Nicolau, Joan Navarro, Joan Cerrato, Montserrat Santandreu, Antonina Carrió, Alba Viera and Paula Nicolau. 

As we usually do, we decided to leave a day earlier and spend two days (and one night) in the capital of France, Paris. There, we were lucky to have amazing weather and we could walk around the city and visit the most symbolic places. The Sacré Coeur, the Arc de Triomphe, les Champs - Élysées, the Louvre or la tour Eiffel were places that we could not miss. However, apart from the most touristic spots we could roam around other neighbourhoods and experience the city and its peculiar atmosphere from a different perspective. We had the hotel in the neighbourhood of Montmartre, a perfect location to discover Paris and the essence of the French capital. 

After two days in Paris we took a train from Montparnasse to Chartres.

There, the host families were waiting for our students and their particular adventure started there. From Chartres the students spread around the area, most of them being near Brou, the village where the school Florimond Robertet was placed. 

Brou 

“No problems, just solutions” is the topic of our project and, this time, the problems were related to social media and social networks. During the week, the French teachers prepared activities and workshops which had to do with the resolutions of conflicts related to the virtual world. Thus, some students had to prepare a dance, others a short movie and others a theater play in order to show to families and teachers the last day. Apart from these workshops and activities, students and teachers did other activities together, like treasure hunting in the middle of a big park near Brou. 

Thursday was the day chosen by the school to go to Paris. We went all together by bus and, there, we visited parts of the city and we went up to the top of the tour Eiffel. After that, we took a bateau mouche (a small boat) and we had the opportunity of seeing the city from the river Seine. 

Finally, on Friday the school planned the end-of-week party where teachers, families and students enjoyed together the last evening in France.  After the party, it was time to say goodbye and tears started to appear on the students’ faces. Possibly, the best ending of an amazing week, full of laughs and fun moments.
