BRIDGING THE GAP
Knowing a language inexorably allows you to access a brand new world. It bestows on you countless qualities, such as that of being able to flee the path you're supposed to be familiar with to start treading upon marvelous new fields. This is just one of the many reasons for which I fancy learning foreign languages. My name is Antonio Cilibrizzi, I am seventeen years old and extremely enthusiastic about this Erasmus+ project. Some of my ancestors reckoned the USA to be home to valuable job opportunities. They, therefore, left Italy at the beginning of the 20th century to embark on a very extenuating trip to Cleveland, Ohio. Their decision turned out to be a veritable success, as a matter of fact, one of their thirteen children, Anthony, became a well known politician and was even appointed as Secretary of Health, Welfare and Education by President Kennedy. This inevitably marked a pivotal change in the history of the Celebrezze family. One of their members had been capable of obtaining glory and fame out of nothing.

Hi there!

Hi there,

I am Carola from Italy and I am very very happy to take part in my high school’s Erasmus+ Project.  I will meet teenagers from Spain, Portugal and France, thus having the chance to have new friends to share ideas, photos and experiences with.

I wanted to take part in this European Project, because I like travelling and getting to know different cultures, lifestyles, ways of relating to events and other people.

Recently I have been studying in Montreal in Canada. Montreal is a wonderful city with a real multicultural society whose citizens come from all over the world.  There I really felt I was no longer just an Italian as well as a European citizen, but a world citizen.

It has been an amazing experience to study and live in a bilingual speaking country, where everybody could speak at least two or three languages.

And what about you? Are you also interested in foreign languages and cultures as I am? Have you ever been living and studying abroad? Did you like it?

See you soon, Carola  

Hi everybody! I am Liliana and I am 16. I live in Potenza in Italy and today I’d like to let you know the reason why I chose to join this project . I like discovering and relating to every kind of person; people are so different from each other and these differences make the human being beautiful. We should learn to appreciate all of them and in my opinion this experience could help us to achieve this result. Besides there is also the improvement of some general skills, such as the language ones. What about you? What is the reason why you chose to join this project?

Tell me about it whenever you can.

We will talk soon!
