What I feel about the project

“Immigrants- Past and Present” is a Comenius project with partners from 6 European countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania and Turkey.
Each year, students from these countries participate in project meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to understand that even though we are living in different countries, with different traditions and customs, we are all equal.

Last project meeting took place here, in Romania. Students from ''Mihai Eminescu National College'' Baia Mare hosted students from the five partner countries.
I was very excited to participate in this project, together with my colleagues.
The meeting was very successful!

For 4 days, we had the opportunity to spend time with the foreign students. We made a lot of new friends and we were able to change some ideas with one another. I was very surprised to discover that they actually think as we do.
In fact they have a life of teenagers very similar to ours. The only things that make us seem different are the language and country of origin with its culture.

Communication between us was very good .We practiced speaking English with the others.
During the conference, we attended many interesting activities. Students from each country made a short presentation of their country and we found a lot of new interesting things about their cultures.
We also talked about our future plans and wishes.

We had the opportunity for several days to spend time with foreigners not only during the conference program. In our free time we visited the city and we shared each other opinions about various topics of teenager life.

The meeting was very successful! I am very happy because I had the opportunity to attend this conference.
I would like to attend the next meeting of the project which will take place in Germany.
Living together for 4 days meant a great experience for me! I gained a lot of new friends and I won the opportunity to understand better the ''foreign'' word that seems so weird.

Getting involved in this project was the most beautiful thing I did during these three years of high school.
I had never participated in this kind of conference before and I honestly say that I was astonished. I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful.
What I liked the most was that everyone was relaxed, we all felt good to be together in this project, both teachers and students. We met teenagers from other countries, we found out that we had the same preoccupations, the same interests, and we became friends.
I am very happy that I had the opportunity to be in the project..
I would also like to thank my form teacher because she offered me the chance to participate in the project meeting that will be held in Germany.
I am very happy because this opportunity is once in a lifetime.
I’ve seen other colleagues of mine who have participated in project meetings in other countries and they came back very changed.
This experience will certainly help me improve my English.
I’m sure I’ll never forget this experience.

Hy!
I'm Manuela Grigoruta from Romania.
I'm very glad each time we talk about our project which means a lot to me.
The meeting in Baia Mare was great, I felt a real communion between us all.
For me and for my classmates it was a start to be more united.
We did everything together as a family for that meeting to be perfect.
I think it helped us to communicate openly with one another.
We found new friends from the other countries that participated in the conference.
We learned how to make a business plan, how to express our feelings and we improved our English and enlarged our cultural background.
I liked everything and I want to thank my form teacher who gave us this chance to make her proud of us, because she trusted us.
Thank you all that you were receptive and friendly.
I truly hope there will be other opportunities to meet again, virtually if not physically. .

Hello!

I'm Roxana from Romania and I'd like to share with you some impressions about this project, what it means for me.
It was my first time involving in this kind of project and I was a little bit nervous because I didn't know many things about what it really means to be involved in a project or about the immigration problem.
It was a nice opportunity for me to learn about how a project is made, how to do a good presentation and why immigration can be a problem. I also had the opportunity to host two students and we spent such nice moments together ,finding more about their countries and also, practicing my English skills.
What I liked most was the friendly atmosphere and I also liked where and how the conference was organized and the trip to Maramures.
I am happy that I have the opportunity to take part in the reunion organized in Germany and I'm sure I'll enjoy it a lot.
