  The young people (Romania, Spain, Italy, Hungary) got the task to create videos to raise awareness on using the internet and social media. This is what they have created with the topic of cyberbullying.

One month ago, I decided to join an Erasmus + project about media and I have been here for a week now. I saw the project on social media and since the theme was for my liking I decided to come. On the day of the arrival we faced an interesting story at frontier, one of our friend from Spain was not allowed to enter Romania. The cause of that was some documentation problem and sadly she had to go back, we feel sorry for her. Upon our arrival at the accommodation, I met the people from Spain, Italy, Hungary and Romania. The warm welcome and energy from the project members at the accommodation made me feel at home. During the project days we enjoyed the non-formal ways of teaching about fake news and social media. We learned some techniques to find the source or the reality of news with various team projects. Learned how to work in a team, create new ideas, how to make the news at the local news studio. After a day of hard work, we decided to sit back and relax a bit at the local pool par

  Days. Just a few days. That is the amount of time that we need to get close to one another, to meet friends that we will feel to have known forever. Erasmus+ is not only an European program to encourage their citizens to get closer to each other and learn about different topics: it is a compound of feelings that you will not be able to get rid off in a while, it is a life learning experience that might change you forever, it is a set of memories that you will carry in your backpack. Why do we like it so much? Why are these projects so life-changing? First of all, and probably the most important: the people you meet. Any experience is rememorable when you are surrounded by extraordinary people who you can share it with. When you have this main ingredient, it does not really matter the location, the lack of sleeping or even the activities. And this point might be linked with the next one: the intensity of the experiences. You live one or two weeks 24/7 with these new mates so in a litt

  Let's start with what we all learned for sure, CONSIDERATION IN OTHERS CAN MAKE A GREAT ENVIRONMENT. Sounds uthopical, but it's absolutely true. You cannot imagine how peaceful we feel with the others, indeed we could say we are a small community. We are around 30 people from 4 different countries with such different backgrounds. Each of us has an own history that makes the experience unique. From a guitar master to teachers, sport trainer or law students, we are so different, what we found that its possible to have a beautiful time together leaning from each other behaviour, past, culture and jokes. Do you know what a couple of lovers is? Do you remember the first month? We all have that feeling. Those ten days have been nearly perfect. From these  days we are now able to recognise some Hungarian words, different types of wine or how to dribble the prize with local market sellers, indeed it was funny. We made drawings, we watched movies, we filmed videos and we were our own
