In September, I took part in the Erasmus program "CAFIN ART OF INCLUSION," which was one of the most beautiful memories of my life. The goal of the program was to get to know the cultures, arts, and values ​​from other peoples and I believe this goal was successfully completed by all the members. Initially, all the students of the program attended their interlocutors with attention so that they could learn as much as they could about other people. Everything was excellent, the people, the landscape, the activities, and even the food. It was an unforgettable experience, and I recommend it unreservedly.

Participating in the Erasmus program in Pissouri Village was a unique experience that will forever stay in my memory. From the workshop sessions about people equity to the projects we presented, sharing our own ideas on how to fight against all kinds-forms of discrimination, the program was perfect. Although the best thing about it was getting to know people from other countries and, at the same time, learning about their culture through cultural nights and a variety of activities like dancing or playing Kahoot,. In summary, we had an amazing time and I highly recommend it to all the teenagers that have the chance to participate in this program.
