Hello everyone! 

We are Carmen and Mariella, we are classmates and this is what we think about our involvement in the project JH4BF so far. 

When we found out we had the opportunity to join this project we were excited, motivated and a bit worried.It's the first time we have been cooperating with foreign schools. 

Of course Erasmus+ has been giving us the possibility to improve our English (which is the official and only language we can use), but mostly we feel now more self-confident and we are able to manage international situations better. 

Since October we discovered how our ancestors felt when they migrated from our region to look for a better life abroad. We noticed the differences between them and us: while we travel for fun and adventure, they travelled for necessity. Travelling was not and easy thing to do, just like for immigrants who arrive in Europe nowadays. They left their families with nothing in their pockets, they could not speak the language of the country of their dreams, turning out to be incomprehensible for native speakers. The worst thing about all of that was surely being considered as dirty animals with no rights.

We hope all the activities will help us and all the pupils involved in this project to open our minds and to see the phenomenon of migration in a different way!

I'm happy to be part of a project, an Erasmus project whose main purpose is to make us aware of what being a migrant means. We've talked about migration a lot and we'll keep doing it for a while. How difficult it's been for our own people to leave their home for a new life in the past, but how difficult it still is for other people to do the same nowadays. My schoolmates and I talked to them, we interviewed some of them and then we presented this project to the rest of the school. I'm really enjoying what I'm doing and I'm glad to be a member of this Erasmus group; I can't wait to leave home for a week to live in one of the other countries, 'cause this is what we'll be dong too: exchange. I'll be trying to share the life of a new family for six days and someone else that's part of the project will try to be part of my family next year. What do I expect from this activity? I expect to get to know how other European people live, to open up my mind and to introduce new habits in my life, why not? I'm pretty sure I'll be satisfied with what I'll have done at the end of this. Hope you'll read about me soon.

HEY WHASSUP?
