Summary
Over the year of 2023 I have participated in 5 youth exchanges, at first it was an act of the need of polishing my vocal English skills, but resulted in a lot of knowledge, experience and friendships. I encourage everyone to participate in such projects, it’s an amazing opportunity that the European Union gave to us Europeans. Just be aware of the PE+D - Post Erasmus+ Depression :D.
