ITALY: The 8th Meeting In Lithuania (19th – 25th February 2017)

Alice Tucci

The week I spent in Panėvežys, in Lithuania, was probably the best week in my life!
I had a lot of fun, and everything was so beautiful and perfect! Everybody was so kind and friendly, and I loved that!

First of all I need to thank my host family. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and they treated me like I was part of the family… and I felt part of the family, indeed! I miss them really much, and I do hope to see  them again. 


Secondly I have to say something about the school and the people there: everything was just perfect! The students and the teachers were really,  really friendly, and if you needed something, there was always somebody there to help you. Even the cooks at the canteen!
And, least but not last, I loved Lithuania! Certainly, in my opinion it was too cold, but I loved seeing and playing with the snow and I really had fun in every place we’ve been: Vilnius, Trakkai, Anykscai : I especially loved the visit to Anykscai  because of the horse riding, the traditional loom, the metalworking and the bread baking!


During this meeting I met a lot of interesting and beautiful people, and it was really sad to say them goodbye!

First of all I want to say that the 8th meeting in Lithuania was fantastic. Everything was well arranged and  I think it was very difficult to organize all that. In my opinion Lithuania is a beautiful country and I loved it even if  it was too cold.

 The school was cosy because all the students were very friendly and helpful. I think it is a good place for  students to stay. The workshops  we did were  funny and instructive.

At the school canteen  the food  was  good but I only liked some of it. The most surprising thing was that students are allowed to bring  their  mobile  in class. It’s a good idea that could be introduced in our school too. Jovita’s family were very kind and lovely, they always made sure I had everything I needed . I love them because they accepted me like one of their children and I thank them for this. Jovita’s mum was so funny and generous and Jovita’s dad too. The last evening I met Jovita’s brother: he studies at  university so he spends all the week away from home and I found him kind and friendly.

The food at home was so good and tasty.
 I slept all the night fine. I miss Jovita’s family, I miss Jovita, I miss Jovita’s friend and the other students, I miss the school in Lithuania and obviously I miss Lithuania. Finally I want to say thanks at my teacher for this opportunity, I really like Erasmus.

I really had a lot of fun during my 8th meeting in Lithuania!
 We spent the week doing a lot of exciting things such as leading a debate, baking bread ( we experienced it TWICE), and even going horse riding!


The best day so far was Thursday: in the morning we went to Trakkai’s castle (unexpectedly the lake around  was completely frozen!) and in the afternoon we visited Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. I really loved Lithuania, as well. It was a little too cold for me, but people were very kind and friendly.  Especially my family! They were always there for me when I needed something.


And furthermore, this Erasmus experience made me meet a lot of amazing people, from all over Europe. I was really sad when I had to say goodbye!
At the end, I really want to say thanks to my Italian friends Alice, Emma and Alessandro. They have really made this week so funny and hilarious!

It was an amazing meeting! The only thing I can say about it is WOW!!!!!!
I loved the activities the Lithuanian team has arranged!
My favourite activity was the DEBATE. It’s an incredible method of speaking English and expressing your opinion!
Another activity  I liked was the short story competition.
It’s very funny because you have to act with students coming from different countries, and in 2-3 hours you have to create a short show about an imaginative story. We had a lot of fun!
The trips were well organized. The buildings we visited, such as castles or cathedrals, were not so famous, we enjoyed them anyway, they were interesting!
The family which hosted Greta and I were very nice and cosy, and I’m very grateful to Jokubas and Gerda for everything  they have done.
I thought the food was not very good instead Lithuanian cuisine is good maybe too much heavy!
Talking in  English is a fantastic way to  make friendships and break languages walls.
THANK YOU to all Lithuanian team, teachers, students, school collaborators for this unforgettable meeting…
AND THANK YOU FOR THIS PROJECT!!!!!!!!!
