1. I am extremely happy that I got the chance to be in this project. It was amazing!
I could talk with people from other countries, not only in English , but also in French. I made good friends here and I hope I will keep in touch with them.
Also, the subject of the project is really interesting. I could hear some really interesting things about other countries. I’m really grateful for this opportunity.

2. I didn’t just like this experience. I simply loved it! I enjoyed every moment and I felt that for three days I lived in another world, a better one. Just imagine what would happen if this kind of activity develop every single day in various countries. I think that the people would be more tolerant and friendlier.
At the festive Dinner I felt I am a true socialite who does her best during the day for the society and when night comes she is rewarded with a lovely dinner. The atmosphere was wonderful and we all demonstrated how elegant we can be.
What I like most these days is the fact that I practiced my English and the fact that I’ve made two friends from Poland. I must confess that I’m pretty sad because the will soon leave.
Mara Butuza, Romania

5. These 3 days have been a wonderful experience which I will never forget. The project also informed us about the immigrants in their countries.
The organization here is wonderful. I thank everyone who arranged this. The most important thing is that we met many friends from other countries. Here is so nice. Here is a good place.
Finally, see you in Turkey.Enver Kasli- Turkey, Bursa

6. I think that these days had been a wonderful opportunity for the students to communicate with other students from other countries. They learned about emigration problems in other countries and presented their own projects to the others.
Thank you for the very pleasant days.
Argo Niinemets,Estonia

7. It was a good experience to be here with the other groups of projects. We have a chance to meet different students and teachers so that was very good. And Mariana was very helpful and friendly to us. She was a very hardworking person. But you can think about the duration (time) of the meetings, sometimes we felt tired. But as a consequence everything was good.
Thank you very much.

8. All the activities that took place these days confirmed that all the participants made an excellent choice when attending the conference.
I’m so glad I made new friends and it’s amazing that all the different cultures just blended together like in a giant salad bowl.
I’ve learned how important immigration and emigration are in a country, also I’ve leant the importance of entrepreneurship, how to make a business plan, I’ve known myself better and my skills these days have materialized into the well-known motto; “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”
Dora Ghita, Romania

9. These days I improved my English skills and I have made new friends. We worked very well in international groups. We learned something about our foreign partners and we had a very good time together.
Marius Anitas, Romania

10. I think this experience has been wonderful for me. I have learnt many things. I got new friends. The personality test was very interesting because we could know who we are and it’s also important in choosing a career.
These three days have been amazing. I will never forget the time spent here, in Romania. All the students and teachers are kind and friendly.
I’m waiting forward to the trip tomorrow.
So, it’s brilliant! J

13. I liked very much these days because we spent a lot of time with our friends from the other countries; we practiced our English a lot; we enlarged our cultural background and so on…
Andrada Les,Romania

14. I think that the project was very beneficial because we got the opportunity to make friends and slowly discover their culture. I found it interesting to work in groups because we exchanged ideas, we got really close to one another and managed to do a really good job. Who said people from different countries can’t work together in groups? Well, he was definitely wrong because today is a proof that as long as we give some interest we can obtain everything we want.
Paula Nemeth, Romania

15. We liked this project a lot because exchange in English with so many people helps us to learn about different cultures and we think that it’s very interesting. More than that, we improved our English.
Lea and Julie, France

16. These special and interesting days made me feel happy to be in this project.
The people are very friendly and now they are my good friends.
I have also improved my English skills.
Ovidiu Craciun, Romania

17. These days were very special and beautiful for me. I’m very happy because I had the opportunity to be part in this project. I met new friends from different countries. The people are very friendly and amazing.
I want to thank Ms. Hudrea for giving me this opportunity.

18. These two days have been great. I have learnt a lot of new things and I am thankful for the knowledge gained. I have made a lot of new friends and had a great time. I think this experience will be useful for me in the future. I am happy I took part in the project.
Marii Sernjuk, Estonia

19. Of these 3 days, actually 2 days, I’ve learnt a lot. I didn’t know that the immigration problem is so big. It is even in our country .
It was really nice to talk and meet with people in other country. And they all were so friendly and talkfull. I really liked this conference.
I want to thank Mariana Hudrea too. If it weren’t her, we wouldn’t have had that kind of meeting and travelling.
Terje from Estonia

20. It’s nice to meet lots of people from different countries. They are really loving and friendly. All they have beautiful languages. I love my roommateJ. She is really-really awesomeJ

21.For me the most important thing was that in a room we are 7 different nationalities and we have integrated.
David, Romania

22.The last three days were some great days because I had the chance to know so many people. When I say people I’m not necessarily referring to the foreigners. This reunion helped us improve the relationship between us and between other countries. It also helped us to discover other cultures, different people, to improve our English skills, our ability to socialize and our capacities to develop a Business plan. Thank you for being so nice.
Cristina Surducan, Romania

23. These special days made me feel happy; happy to interact with such great people from all over Europe. Friendly, interesting and amazing people made my days special. I want to thank Ms. Hudrea for the opportunity she gave me to participate in this conference with such great people.
Catalin Popan, Romania

24. These projects were truly a unique experience and as seen in the video from France and compared with our activities these were different and similar at the same time. I would have really enjoyed if all the teams could have remained until Saturday. Otherwise just words of hailing of the events, the festive party really proved the motto “Unity in Diversity”.
Bohony Patrick, Romania

25. In the last three days every team worked hard to present themselves properly. In the case of an international project I can now clearly say that communication is really necessary.
Getting past the nervousness of presenting a project I can say that “Unity in Diversity” really exists in Europe because 7 countries brought a little bit of culture at this “multicultural dish”.
Paul Craciun, Romania
26. These days were the most wonderful days I had this year.
I think I had a wonderful opportunity to practice my English skills and meet new people from so many different countries.
I just wanna say thanks to Mariana Hudrea.

27.It was interesting to see how young people think about immigration problems and very good to know that the future is in their hands and they can /want to solve these problems.
Thank you , Mariana.
Excellent work.
Maris Laats, Estonia

28. I liked very much to b in Romania . I made a lot of new friends. I’m very glad that I could take part in this project.
Siim Asperk, Estonia

29. This experience was awesome for me. These days were not only different, but I found out new things about other cultures, customs, traditions, opinions. I loved the fact that we worked together; we shared our opinions; we realized that we aren’t so different; that we have same preoccupations, opinions.
This opportunity to participate in these projects made me more ambitious, more curious about what’s happening around me.
Also, the idea of hosting or guiding is awesome, because when you host a foreigner, you see his country, culture through him. Thank you.
Xanta Lukacsovits, Romania

30. Extraordinary…these is the word for this experience. I love it! I didn’t expect that these days would be so full of surprises.I discovered new things, new mentalities and new ideas. I made firneds and I spent a great time with them.
I am very sorry I couldn’t host everyone.
I hope I will participate in this kind of activities in the future.

31. I would like to begin by thanking Ms. Hudrea for inviting me to this conference and for making it possible for me to take part in these activities which I enjoyed to the fullest. During these days I have learnt many interesting things which I am sure I will use in the future, I could connect and have fun with teenagers from other European countries. I have also practiced my language skills by speaking English and Italian as well.
The only thing I did not like was that in a very short period of time we learnt many new pieces of information and it started to become a little bit hard for me to concentrate.
However, this conference was a great experience for me which helped me get to know myself and others better, practice the skills I possess and develop new ones and also enjoy myself.
This is one of the great experiences which I will always remember and cherish.
Paula Ghete , Romania

32. The conference activities were successful; all the participants showed great involvement and enthusiasm. They shared common experiences, improved their language skills and group work abilities. Congratulations for the organization to Mrs. Mariana Hudrea!

33. These days I felt very good in Baia Mare at this conference and I have made a lot of friends and all of us felt like a community. Although we, the team of Italy, were too young for this meeting , we had a very good time with the other students.
Mihaila Iulian, Italy

34. This kind of experience is a part of the best side of life. I think at least once in life a man must do this experience where he meets people of different countries of the world.
The workshop of today was very interesting and I could learn some English. I am 3 years younger than the other boys and girls, but I could meet some friends. I am happy for this experience and I hope to experience it again some other time in the future.
Luca Zancarli, Italy

35. I think it was a wonderful time together with different cultures… It was so interesting and I spoke so much English than never in my life… I learnt so much about immigration and other peoples…
Thank you for this incredible time
Ema, Romania

36. I enjoyed these days and I could learn a lot of new things. I could meet new friends and made new friendship. The final workshop was very interesting and I hope we can do this experience again.
Lorenzo De Giuli, Italy

37. I think that the conference helped all people to learn and meet new culture and language. For me the workshop was interesting because people of different culture worked together here and made fantastic products. This week I leant more English than in three years of school.
Elena, Italy

38. I have leant so much in this experience.
I have improved my English, leant some Romanian and I leant about the situation of emigration in other countries.
I can’t find a defect in this experience.
Omar Bakush, Italy

39. For me this conference was useful because I found out a lot of new things about different countries and I could realize that working with other students from other countries is not as difficult as I believed. More than that, I could realize that even though we are physically different, we all behave in the same way. This is the first time I took part in this project and I am really satisfied, but really satisfied. I made new friends, I met a lot of nice persons and this experience will remain always in my mind. I would like to thank to all the organizers for this wonderful conference.

40. I think these days were the best days that I spent in school. This project managed to guide me in my future and made me realize that work is very important to success. I hosted three girls and spent a great time together and we exchanged impressions and lernt many things about their cultural background. All these things made me realize that life is hard and we have to work hard if we want to make it easy.
Florina Fanea, Romania

41. It has been a beneficial thing for us to work together in the same subject. And I was happy to set up a company. I leant lots of things about how to set up a company or how to make a project. And I see that if we want, we will be rich with some of our friends. And I think that is all.
Ali Emre, Turkey

42. These three days were wonderful for me because I made some new very good friends and I hope that we will keep in touch. Also I learned some different things about other countries and about their culture.
My guest Juhan Taalik is a really nice boy . I hope we will keep in touch!
Pintea Razvan , Romania


43. First of all I want to say that this project was the most interesting one because we learnt new things about globalization and also how to work in teams (international teams). I want to mention that here I met a lot of friendly people and I saw how organized we were. Also I’m very happy that I took part in this conference and these days were very useful for me because I improved my English.
Silvia Pricope, Romania

44. I think this is the best conference and the best project I have been involved in.
I enjoyed it a lot, I met a lot of special people and I had the experience of hosting two girls with different cultural background and nationality, but who will be my partners in a new friendship.
These days, while the project was developing, I had a lesson of life, in a friendly atmosphere.
Thank you, participants, organizers and the European Commission for offering us this opportunity.
Roxana Serba, Romania

45. First of all I have to mention that I am very proud for participating in this international conference. It has been an honour for me to take part in it and meet so many people from different countries. These days were very useful, especially for practising our English and learning to succeed in life, how to make a business plan.
I want to thank Ms. Hudrea for the opportunity she gave to me.
Andreea Coman, Romania

46. Thank you for organizing such a wonderful conference, so useful for all of us and a nice example how to handle and cope with so many different people.
These days have given us the possibility to share ideas, make new friends, and learn from each other. Wonderful days for students to meet different nationalities, make friends with them, use English in real situations, and learn how to work in a team.
For teachers who don’t use English everyday it gives a nice possibility to practise their skills.
Paivi Aljamaa, Estonia

47. I am so glad to be here. I can say I enjoy every minute of the conference. Each day I get to know more and more students from different countries. That’s what I like most. Everybody has made a great effort today trying to make a business plan. These activities are very useful and instructive. I think that we can benefit from them in the future.
Aleksandra Bielawska, Poland

48. First of all I want to thank you for your organization. You (Mariana) are a very good organizer.
And I enjoyed being with you. Thank you for your hospitality and your students are friendly, clever, and brilliant. My students and your students got close in a short time. I believe they will be good friends for a long time.
If they can do successful works, I believe they will do everything in the future.
And I want to thank your colleagues Simona, Flavia and other friends of yours.
To conclude, it is a good experience for me and it was nice.
Thank you very much. Congratulations!
See you in Bursa.

A big thank you to Mariana for putting in so much to the organization.
I loved the presentations, the festive dinner and all the visits you prepared for us.
All the students also made a great effort to make the event a success.
I had the chance to speak at length to my two pupils Lea and Julie during the journey home and I can assure you they gained so much and had an unforgettable experience. They are planning to present our activities to their classmates tomorrow and will certainly do so with enthusiasm.
Well done Mariana once again!

I want to start by congratulating all the participants for the effort and for the hard work they put into the project. Every single presentation was special and important for us. In the first place we’ve practiced our English and social skills. We have realized the importance of the 8 key competences for a better integration on the labor market. To be honest, I never thought that a project reunion can be so interesting and so full of special events. What I liked the most was the fact that the activities were combined. Serious activities, I mean that all the participants presented their work with relaxing activities like the festive dinner, in which we could speak with each other and discover new mentalities and new lifestyles. It was very nice that during the lunch breaks we all went to eat together. We managed to find out new things about other cultures and we’ve made a lot of friends. I want to thank everyone for being so nice and so open, for me it was a lot better that I expected.I felt like we were all part of a big family, like we’ve met a long time ago and now we are good friends. The atmosphere was relaxed. I liked because I didn’t feel like I was at a conference where everybody is serious, I felt like I was among friends and I liked that everyone smiled. In the same time we found out the problems that immigrants face when they are moving to another country. They have a lot of problems and we have to do our best in order to help them to integrate better. We also found out that the relationship between parents, children and school is very important. My relationship with my parents it’s a good one, I’m lucky from this point of view. I was very surprised to notice that despite the differences that exist between us we have a lot of things in common. For example a girl from Germany said that our national costume is very similar with their costume. We have the same age, the same objectives in life and the same problems. It was the most beautiful experience that I had in my life so far, and I would never forget these days. Thank you for that! And I want to thank Ms. Hudrea from my heart because she invited us to take part in this special event. Without her I would not have lived these moments unforgettable. Thank you! Boga Petruta 11E
