Learning, Training and Teaching Activities
VIDIN, BULGARIA - from 15th to 27th of November 2021
Erasmus+ Project “To Bee or not To Bee in Nature”- “2B or not 2BeeN”
Italy through my eyes
I am really
happy to have been part of the Erasmus+ “2Be or not 2BeeN” project. I was very
excited to be a part of this project because I love exploring unfamiliar places
and getting to know new cultures.
I kept
liking Italy increasingly more with every passed day. Firstly, I made a lot of
friends there including people from the Greek and Turkish teams as well as many
Italians of course. Getting to know all those people it was quite interesting
for me as they have had more different experiences than me; for example: they
live in a different country, they study at in a different type of schools, they
eat distinct types of food and have a different view for many things in life.
The communication was easy as almost all the people I met there had a good
command of English which meant that I had many opportunities to practice my
English and to be able to apply the skills that I have been taught at school.
One of my
favorite parts of my stay in Italy was certainly the architecture and the
beauty of the places we visited in Lombardy. Monza, the town we stayed in, is a
calm and beautiful place. There are many cobblestone streets which make it very
charming. We also visited Milan, which was an incredible experience. Milan is
an architectural masterpiece with such unforgettable architecture. We also went
to Como lake which offered many
beautiful landscapes of northern Italy. We also went on a ferry ride through
the lake which was great fun. Another interesting aspect of Monza was the
cuisine. Unfortunately, I was not at a host family and so I was not able to try
any Italian homemade dishes. However, I was still able to try several typical
Italian meals in restaurants. I tasted many types of pasta, pizza, spaghetti,
seafood and other Italian dishes and I really enjoyed all of them. Throughout
my stay in Italy, I was also able to learn many new Italian words and phrases
which made me more familiar with the entire Italian atmosphere.
Another
notable experience we had was cooking in the demonstrative laboratory kitchen
in the school. We had the chance to see some of their cooking classes and even
take part in the process of the preparation of some of the things they cooked.
It was quite interesting for me because we do not have these types of classes
in our school. I found their classes exciting and productive. We also had some
lectures and practical lessons about bees, beekeeping, bees in mythologies and
other types of activities involving knowing the importance of bees.
In
conclusion I am glad to have been involved in this project and I am grateful
for having experienced everything I did during these two weeks. I am looking
forward to being a part of all the other activities of this project.
