Impressions from Italian Team
Alice Tucci
I had a lot of fun during the meeting in Montrouge, from 28th November to 2nd December.
My host family was perfect. They were so kind,
so nice, and they made me feel like I were at home. I have to thank them for the beautiful
week I spent at there.
The school was the biggest school I’ve ever
seen. Everybody in the school was so friendly,
and lot of people were worried about me when I had my hand burned with hot tea.
The students were so funny, the teachers and the employers were really nice and
kind. There I met some lovely people which I had fun with.
I found the meetings
with the entrepreneurs Laura Cooper and Philippe Leborgne interesting: they
said lots of interesting things. I loved the meeting with Savita Kahlan: she
was so nice and I loved when she talked about books and what they mean to her.
I had such a great time that morning (except when I had myself burned with hot tea...).
I have no
words to describe how beautiful Paris is:
that city has a strange charm that makes you love everything: I was in love
even with the street lights!
I enjoyed really much the guided tours around
Paris and to Versailles. I discovered
lots of interesting things and finally I can say that I saw the Mona
Lisa! In my opinion, the visit at the Louvre was the best visit we’ve had. It was so exciting seeing Italian paintings
in a museum like the Lovre and I felt proud of my Country when people stopped and
have a look at the Italian Paintings.
The last
night was the best night we’ve had. It was my birthday, so everybody sang ‘happy birthday to you’ in their own
language! It was really touching. We danced, we ate a lot and we had fun.
I feel so grateful to this Project, and I really
thank my teachers and the headmistress of my school, for making this
happen. I want to thank also my friends,
because without them, the week would not have been the same.

Erasmus
+ is a cultural exchange among eight European countries
and this time we went to France. My host family was very nice and
kind to me, so I gave them some little presents.
I liked the school:
it was very clean and big. At first, I was very nervous, but after
the first two days, I calmed down and tried to make myself understood
in English and in the end it worked out pretty well.
On the first day
a show welcomed us and I liked it. After that we did some physical
activities. In the afternoon, we met Laura Cooper, who showed us some
marketing strategies. This meeting was very interesting but a bit
difficult to understand.
On the second day we visited the Latin
District, and for me this was a very well planned trip, better than
the one to the Louvre museum or the sightseen Tour of Paris we did on
Thursday. Then, in the afternoon, we met Philippe Leborgne, a
businessman.
On the third day we had a meeting with the writer Savita
Kalhan. We asked her some questions, and then we had a workshop with
students from other countries.
The last day we visited Versailles,
and I really liked it. In the evening, we had the farewell party;
which was very nice and fun. My partner’s parents cooked very well
so I had no problem with French cuisine.
I liked this week very much
but unfortunately, we could not finish our project. I thank my host
family and the teachers who took us to France

I liked this Erasmus+
experience for different things.
My family guest was very
kind, gentle and available. For example, they took to Sacré-Coeur and to
Champs-élysées, they cooked a fantastic chocolate cake for me when I arrived
and they gave me a nice black scarf for the cold weather in Paris. Their house
was comfortable and clean and they tried to let me feel like it was my house.
The school called “Lycée
Mauri2ce Genevoix” was huge and wonderful. We spent our school time in
different meetings. My favourite one was the meeting with Savita Kahlan. We
asked her several questions about her last book called “The Long Weekend” and
about her life. Especially, we wanted to know how she became a writer. Then, we
did a creative writing course about her story called “The Death of Princess”.
It was very interesting.
I love Paris, it’s a
fantastic city. We visited Notre Dame, Latin district, Louvre Museum (and we
saw the famous picture of Gioconda!) and we even went on Tour Eiffel! From
there I saw all Paris, it was beautiful!
The last day will be always
in my heart. In the morning we went to Royal palace of Versailles. It was
incredible, everything was made up with gold! In the evening we went to the
farewell party. We danced a lot and we celebrated Alice’s birthday. The
students sang her “Happy birtday” in eight different languages! At the end of
the dinner we all were happy and sad at the same time. I didn’t want to leave!
