Our Erasmus+ Adventure: Learning, Exploring, and Connecting
Our time in Jindřichův Hradec, Czech Republic, was nothing short of amazing. This Erasmus+ project brought together people from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, and over a few days, we laughed, learned, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
Diving into Erasmus+ Projects
We kicked things off by analyzing various Erasmus+ projects what worked, what didn’t, and how we could make them even better. From brainstorming new activities to discussing the best ways to select participants, these conversations were both insightful and inspiring. It wasn’t just about paperwork and logistics; it was about understanding how these projects truly impact people’s lives and how we could make that impact even bigger in the future.
Discovering the City Through a Game
Exploring Jindřichův Hradec was an adventure in itself! Instead of a typical guided tour, we did a city game that turned sightseeing into an interactive experience. We ran around solving riddles, discovering hidden corners of the town, and even chatting with locals along the way. It was the perfect way to blend fun with cultural discovery, and it made us feel more connected to the place and its people.
Cultural Exchange and International Nights
One of the highlights of the project was definitely the international nights. Every country brought a piece of home whether it was through food, music, or dance and we all got to experience a little bit of each other’s culture. From tasting new dishes to trying out traditional dances, these nights were full of laughter, joy, and a deeper appreciation for the diversity around us.
More Than Just a Project—A Community
Of course, beyond all the structured activities, what really made this project special were the people. We shared meals, late-night conversations, and countless jokes that brought us closer together. Whether it was bonding over morning coffee or teaming up for a challenge, these small moments made the biggest difference. By the end, we weren’t just participants in a project, we were friends.
Looking Ahead
Leaving Jindřichův Hradec, we carried more than just new knowledge—we took home stories, friendships, and a renewed passion for Erasmus+ projects. This wasn’t just about learning how to organize projects; it was about experiencing firsthand the power of collaboration, cultural exchange, and stepping out of our comfort zones.
