Dear readers, in this article all of us participants of the project will try to give you our insight <\/span>into what we experienced in the project during our 8 days. You may be wondering what <\/span>Erasmus+ project looks like, yet to be honest, the best is to experience it on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

The whole project took us to a mansion in Raki\u010dan, a magnificent village close to Murska <\/span>Sobota, a beautiful town of a close proximity to the borders of 3 other countries: Hungary, <\/span>Austria and Croatia. Thanks to such location, we could feel the fresh air and the far away <\/span>breeze from the sea even in April. The participants from other countries joined us from <\/span>diverse nooks of Europe: Romania, Poland, Slovenia. On top of that, we got to meet 2 <\/span>people from Turkey, who were part of the Polish group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe first days at the accommodation are filled with activities that are supposed to make <\/span>people get to know each other, which is all filled with fun and entertainment. As a result, we <\/span>were all more likely to talk more openly and connect deeper throughout the days. <\/span>After these activities we took nice strolls, played sports games at a nearby field and enjoyed <\/span>each other's company. The whole project was about the importance of sports (or any type of <\/span>movement) in our lives, which we were reminded of. <\/span>Not only did we engage in sports activities, we were also discussing the importance of <\/span>mental health awareness and methods on how to overcome hardships in our lives. We, the <\/span>Slovak national group, had the opportunity to make multiple workshops regarding this theme. <\/span>I have to say we took on the role with as much caution and commodity as we could have. <\/span>Regarding the other nations, they also provided us with workshops of their own choice, such <\/span>as how to weave a crown out of grass.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThis project has provided me with numerous new skills and knowledge. Not only did I get to <\/span>meet and engage with new people, yet I also got to learn new things regarding different <\/span>cultures, their food and customs. For sure I improved my English speaking skills. Yet the <\/span>most profitable for me were the workshops focused on healthy nutrition, mental health as <\/span>well as movement. Spending lots of time in nature made wonders to my soul. <\/span>Thanks to encountering new people I learned how to work in a team filled with new members <\/span>that I do not know as much. Once I joined working in a team, bettering myself in English <\/span>speaking skills and coming up with new ideas, I knew that I experienced more than I had <\/span>firstly anticipated. <\/span>Out of all the workshops mentioned above, the most favourable for me was the barefoot <\/span>walking one. <\/span>A little theory window for you: I learned that barefoot walking engages feet muscles that we <\/span>do not intend to use when walking with shoes. It also aids us to hold our body correctly,\u00a0<\/span>improves body balance, reduces stress and aims to increase connection with nature. Not to <\/span>forget, it clears one\u00b4s mind, as during the walk we put all of our attention to where we put our <\/span>feet. I have to give credits for this workshop to our Slovak participant, Vikt\u00f3ria Horosov\u00e1 for <\/span>teaching us all about barefoot walking.<\/span>

\nFor me this was my first experience with Erasmus+ projects, and I have to say it was <\/span>incredibly unique. All of the other national groups were amazing. Despite that, I mostly got <\/span>on well with our Slovak national group. We really connected and even after the project we <\/span>still keep in touch and meet up. It was great for me to be able to be myself the whole time <\/span>without any judgement, especially with the Slovaks. <\/span>In relation to the programme, it was truly interesting and great thanks to the fact that I got to <\/span>unwind myself. Even though I got to relax, I still had to be creative and do some work. During <\/span>all of that, I did not have the time to think about my responsibilities back at home. <\/span>About the participants from other countries, I exchanged contact with some, as well as some <\/span>home remedies for sore throat (which was my lifesaver throughout the project). <\/span>For me this was an incredible experience and for sure I would like to take some time out in <\/span>the future in another Erasmus+ project.

\nIt was great, even though at the beginning a little bit difficult for me to adapt myself to <\/span>customs different to what I am used to. After a few days and the first walk into the town I felt <\/span>more comfortable and relaxed. Some of the team activities were more demanding, <\/span>sometimes even uncomfortable, yet every time we overcame it all with the others. <\/span>During the day I also had some spare time for myself, which helped me a lot. I got to rest <\/span>and learn how to cooperate with a wide range of people, tasks and surroundings, in which I <\/span>had never been before. This all has high advantages for me in the future.

\nFrom my personal experience, this Erasmus+ project was one of the best decisions ever. As <\/span>this was my first experience regarding these types of projects, from the beginning I was a <\/span>little bit sceptic and held a deep respect towards the project. Right after the arrival and meet <\/span>up with other participants I felt a deep relief and the fear washed itself away. I knew then that <\/span>it was going to be unforgettable week full of new adventures and memories for life. <\/span>I profoundly appreciate the opportunity to have visited nearby towns, natural and cultural <\/span>sights as a part of our schedule. I would also like to underline initial activities to get to know <\/span>each other, which have helped me to acknowledge participants from other countries. I do not <\/span>even feel the need to mention cultural nights, as familiarising myself with the cultural <\/span>prospects of each other by the eyes of its inhabitants is an experience of its own (as well as <\/span>tasting of cultural snacks and food).<\/span>
\nFocusing on the topic of mental health, I deeply appreciate the fact that we have been given <\/span>an opportunity to create our own workshops, thanks to which we could demonstrate how we\u00a0<\/span>perceive this sensitive topic. In addition to mental health during the project, the surroundings <\/span>of the project were prosperous to a high degree. Being surrounded by nature and to forget <\/span>about all of the worries for a bit brought a piece of mind in me. <\/span>Of course I cannot forget to mention the leisure time we have been given, which was <\/span>enormously enough for us to create new friendships. <\/span>I am astonishingly happy to have experienced this exact Erasmus+ project, my first but <\/span>definitely not the last. I recommend everyone, who is even slightly thinking about attending <\/span>such a project, to step out of one's comfort zone and try it out. It is worth it.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
