Blended Mobility in Varna - Bulgaria

'' This Erasmus exchange has given me new stories to share in my life apart from sports activities I have worked a small bit on my soft skills as well as met new people made new friends, friends which I won't forget learned about different cultures. We had a great time together all and all was a new experience in my life.''


- Danial and Violeta 




'' In this youth exchange, part of ka2 project A Story of Europe, we had the opportunity to meet other 30 youngsters coming from different backgrounds, cultures, experiences and realities.
This exchange has had 2 main parts, the first one we had to learn from each other and in the second one we adapted the project to the diverse people that were attending it.
It has been an experience where we have learnt a lot of different stuff like:
Cultures, Erasmus realities, perceptions, backgrounds and Bulgaria.''

'' This project was not very good at first. Activities were not exactly how we expected, but the organization team were very well to understand us and they changed the programmes at the base of our needs. Social life, especially the disco and the clubs were very good and they help us to get to know each other better.''


-Antonio



'' The project was a good opportunity to meet some people from different countries and exchange knowledge. The connection between sport and entrepreneurship for me did not clarify during the training. Might be my fault for not being able to get fully engaged and excited about the project. I was not super excited about the project also because I am a very individualistic type of person and is hard to get impressed. Some exercises I liked and others were not so interesting and I could not realise the meaning of it, but in general, was with good intention. I feel more neutral about the whole thing. It was fun from time to time. Another thing- most people were speaking in Spanish all the time which I found annoying and hard to socialise.''

'' The idea of the project was to show the connection between sport and entrepreneurship. As it is with each Erasmus + program, you get the chance to meet other people from different countries. It is a nice opportunity for productive exchange. From a psychological point of view, the activities put you out of your comfort zone meeting your own fears and obstacles which get in your path to success in life. For some people that fear can be talking in front of a group of strangers, expressing your personal experiences. The sports activities when connected with entrepreneurship are a nice way to learn the basics of entrepreneurship, most importantly that you cannot escape failures and you should not fear them but grasp the opportunity for learning from them. ''

- Lukas and Lucas


'' This project has been an amazing experience, the chance to come to Bulgaria and also known people of almost all of Europe is for us a very unique opportunity. Living here with the other participants and do the activities with them has helped us to be more outgoing and also learn another language and improve our English level. 
Thanks for everything, greetings.''

- Carlos and Jorge

'' It's an experience that surprise you minute by minute. We learnt that it's also possible to learn from the disaster :). By another hand it was a good chance to do an international exchange, meeting new people, learning new languages and having fun! ''
