My Amazing Trip to Reunion Island

Erasmus+ project “Too Bee or not to Bee in Nature”

My Amazing Trip to Reunion Island

Reunion Island was one of the most unique places I have ever been to, actually that was the school trip I will remember forever! As the time began to approach, I became more and more impatient!

Firstly, the project was really useful and of utmost importance because its purpose was to educate young people like us in nature preservation and to help us to improve our skills and knowledge in ICT and foreign languages. We had the opportunity to communicate with people from different nationalities and work together, which made us feel more comfortable and confident in the end. The distance we travelled to get to this place was definitely worth it! The things which impressed me the most were the friendly attitude of the local people and their educational system. We spent a lot of time together and learned to work as a team and to develop our leadership skills.

On one of the days, we were invited to visit their cooking classes and I could say that this was the most interesting part of the whole project for me. We were split into two teams. Some of us were at the bakery and the other attended the pastry classes. We had a lot of fun while we were preparing the dishes with honey products.

 Another important aim of the project was to increase our knowledge in foreign cultural fields. We explored some of the most beautiful tourist attractions– Piton De La Fournaise, Bassin Cormoran, Saint-Gills, The National Park and etc. That kind of experience widened our horizons, boosted our self-confidence and enriched our imagination. But, in my opinion, the most important things we achieved during our stay at this incredible place were that we created pure friendships and opened a lot of doors for our future development.
