The
Erasmus+ experience in Daugavpils was the best experience of my life and it
will remain in my heart forever.
From 3rd
to 9th April the coordinator of the Italian team, Maria Rosaria
Grasso, the headmistress of our school, Carla Barbi, and us took part in the fourth
meeting in Daugavpils.
The
project provides different learning opportunities to European guys like us. The
project involves eight countries: Spain, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia, Portugal, Poland,
France and of course Italy.
The
Italian team was composed by four guys: Bissoli Lorenzo, Montorio Martina,
Variati Sara and me, Romeo Anna.
Our
travel started on 3rd April
from the airport of Bergamo, where we took our flight to the airport of Riga.
When we arrived in Daugavpils our guest family received us with a big
smile and then they took us to our home for the next five days.
My guest family was always helpful, friendly, funny and generous to me.
My host girl has a brother and a sister and they were very friendly and polite
too, although they didn’t speak English. I really liked my host family and their
house: everything was perfect.
Our workshop about “Cultural
awareness” was very interesting and I knew a lot of new things about other
countries’ rules and culture. I also learned some Latvian, Turkey and
Lithuanian words and this was amazing.
Elῑza, my guest friend, was always kind and polite to me.
She helped me, she let me meet her friends, she took me to a very beautiful
tower and we visited it. The tower was near the river Daugava.
At the weekend "ERASMUS
+" party we all danced a lot. We danced particularly Russian pop songs and
it was one the funniest moment of the week in Daugavpils. At the party we
talked a lot, we laughed, we danced and we cried because the next day was the farewell
one. All the guys involved in this project were really happy to be in
Daugavpils and of course I was too.
This experience will be
unforgettable. During this week I have found a lot of friends, a new family who
loves me as their child and a I knew a lot of new and interesting things.
Of these five days I will
remember all the laughs, the jokes and all the important things I have learned
in Latvia. I will remember the dances, the games and all the beautiful moment. I do hope to come back to Latvia and to
Daugavpils because I really want to meet again Elῑza, her family and all her friends.
This experience will always be in my heart because that guys made me happy and
they made me laugh a lot. They were my second family and they will be in my
heart forever.
I thank the Erasmus Plus
project, my teachers and my Italian team for having made this interesting and exciting project possible.

this was the best experience of
my life! I doN't forget those guys and I WANT
to return to Latvia with my family to see them!
The Latvia is a beautiful
country . I didn't think latvian people were so friendly but now I change my
idea because they had very kind with us!
The trip was quite tired.
When we arrived in Daugavpils
I felt a little uncomfortable because as a city is quite different from mine ,
but then I loved this city!
I was comfortable the first
time I saw Vika because two months before she came in Italy and I had know her
The first day was beautiful
and fun ! we were always together at school but despite this we met new
friends!
When we left the school we
visited the city and I liked very much.
When we left the school we went
to shopping and in the afternoon we all went to Naujene: it was a beautiful
tower where you could really see the Daugava River. We made a picnic, we
played. It was so much fun!
The second day we were divided
into groups and we did workshops . Then we went in Mart Rothko Art Centre ,
where we made some small paintings , it was fun! For lunch we went to a
restaurant and I was very satisfied. When we finished eating, we visited other
parts of Daugavpils.
The third day we went to
the capital of Latvia. Riga is really a beautiful city, full of beautiful
landscapes, full of history and old buildings! It was a really interesting trip
and hope to return soon!
The fourth day was the most
beautiful day for me.
At the beginning we were in
school to make the group work about the culture of own countries, after we
visited Andrupene . We visited a beautiful
church and the river that
surrounded it , then we ate in a typical Latvian restaurant: in this place some
dancers played and sang . We also danced and when it finished the ballet, we
visited a museum.
The last day we showed our
presentation about the cultures of our countries.
Then we walked around the city
, we ate and in the end we returned home to prepare for the party.
When we arrive at the party I
loved the decorations. They celebrated every country with a song, or with a
small play or with magic tricks: it was very nice and fun! When they finished,
we listened music and we danced and enjoyed ourselves ! it was a wonderful
evening!
Finally, it was a fantastic
experience ! I miss them all very much and I hope to see them soon!
I would like to thanks my Latvian’s
family and all people that I met, because everybody was very kind and very nice
with me.
I was very satisfied about this experience

The
4th Erasmus' meeting was held in Daugavpils in Latvia. We were in Latvia from
April 3rd to 9th.
It was a fantastic, fun, interesting and amazing experience.
I was hosted at Linda's she is a kind and friendly girl, who made me
feel like I was at home. I want to thank you her and her mother for everything
they did.
The tours and various visits to museums were great, I really liked a lot
the Latvians landscapes, but I think that the best thing is our boundless
friendship.
These friendships and this experience have been fantastic and I will
always carry in my heart.
Thanks for everything.

My experience in Latvia has been great! We flew to Latvia from the
Bergamo’s airport. We arrived in Riga’s airport and then we went to Daugavpils
in the south of the country. We arrived at the city hotel and then our hosts
brought us to their houses. My host’s house was little but comfortable. The people
in Latvia is very polite, generous and funny! The school was big and nice: we
did our activities for Erasmus + in the school’s gym.
I met boys and girls from
different countries such as Spain, Pourtugal, France, Lithuania and Turkey and
this was very exciting.
During our stay we went to Riga (the capital), we visited the Aglona’s
Church and the Mark Rotko Museum. We ended the week with a traditional party,
where we danced and the headmistress gave us the certificates.
I think that Latvia is an
interesting country, not only for its art, culture and history but above all for its cool people!
