Farah Haykal, 2n Comerç - final stretch in my Erasmus stage




Coming to the final stretch of my stay in Munich, I must say that I learned many things  professionally and personally.


Learning some of the German laws and how they deal with international trade shows me the differences that it has with Spain.I have to say that at first people seem much more serious than spanish people, but everything is to know them and see that it is the opposite! They are very friendly and they always offer their help in what they can.Personally, I have realized that it is very important to be always careful and not trust quickly, sometimes there are people who can take advantage of the vulnerability of the person, so you must always be careful! But in case of not speaking it, it is not a big problem either since most people have a good level of English and they are able to answer any questions."Getting used to living in a foreign country requires at least six months" is the phrase that one of my colleagues continuously repeat,when I explain to her some of the difficulties I had.I  miss to be surrounded by my family and friends, but it is necessary to live this unique experience in order to grow, to value what we have and we do not realize and squeeze all the knowledge that is provided to us!At the level of communication, as we well known, Germans love their language! And they always prefer to speak German than English. They also greatly appreciate the effort to speak with them in their language and they help you to improve it.But in case of not speaking it, it is not a big problem either since most people have a good level of English and they are able to answer any questions.Culturally I have had some shocks, since for example they usually eat sooner than we do, stores and supermarkets close earlier … But it is easy to deal with that. She has helped me a lot and has taught me some places in Munich to spend my free time, although I have not had the opportunity to visit the city thoroughly because I always prefer to do it with someone. That’s why in my free time I decided  to go and visit my family. Ii is quite far away  from Munich but very beautiful villages.I  miss to be surrounded by my family and friends, but it is necessary to live this unique experience in order to grow, to value what we have and we do not realize and squeeze all the knowledge that is provided to us!

Cap a Westerburg!

Imatge
  Hem entrevistat l’Arnau Ollé, estudiant de 2n de Dietètica de l’ETP Xavier, just abans de marxar cap Westerburg (Alemanya) a l’abril a fer una estada de pràctiques gràcies al Programa Erasmus+. Què t'ha motivat a presentar-te a les beques Erasmus+? La motivació va sorgir l’any passat pel simple fet de voler conèixer i viure una nova experiència a l’estranger. Finalment, he tingut l’oportunitat de poder fer un Erasmus a Alemanya aquest curs a través de la Fundació Barcelona FP i l’ETP Xavier; concretament unes pràctiques de dos mesos a una residència assistida per a gent gran. Què esperes que t'aporti? Espero poder guanyar experiència laboral i conèixer la pròpia cultura, així com la  dinàmica de l’estil de vida que es porta aquí, per poder   veure la diferència entre Espanya i Alemanya en l’àmbit alimentari des d’una òptica   professional. Estàs nerviós? Què és el que et preocupa més? El que més em pot arribar a preocupar és que hi hagi algun problema en relació a

Leslie, una altra manera de veure el món

Aquesta mes de febrer, la Leslie-Ann Paulino, estudiant de 2n d'Educació Infantil a la nostra escola, ha viatjat a Alemanya per realitzar una estada de pràctiques al Kindergruppe Schlabberpapp e.V. de Munich. S'hi estarà dos mesos, gràcies a una beca d'Erasmus+. Nosaltres li hem fet una petita entrevista. Què t'ha motivat a presentar-te a les beques Erasmus+?  El que m'ha motivat a presentar-me a les beques Erasmus+ és  que crec que podria ser una molt bona oportunitat creativa per formar-me professionalment d'una manera diferent a la que s'ofereix habitualment. Que esperes que  t'aporti ?  Poder fer Erasmus+, a part que m'aporti una bona experiència i nous companys amb qui compartir aquesta experiència, també espero que m'aporti independència i una altra manera de veure el món a la que estic habituada. Estàs nerviosa? Què és el que et preocupa més, i què és el que et fa més il·lusió? Sí que ho estic. El que em preocupa és el fet de no saber alem

Carla, 2n Guia, unforgettable experience

Probably, if somebody asked me a time in my life in which I was completely happy, my answer would be: Erasmus. I have to admit that I was a little bit nervous before coming to Finland; I didn’t know what to expect, how the weather will be, how people will be, anything.  After more than 2 months here, I can say that I become another person.  The Erasmus marked a before and after. I don’t know how to explain it, but it is a stage in my life that is separate from the rest. Sometimes I feel like it’s a stop in everything, a dream, a vision, a movie, I don’t know. Something far removed from reality, like a break, a dead time (but more alive than any other).  It was not the first time I had spent a season away from home, in another country, with new people and in a language different from mine. But it was not the first time that it was fun, I had to deal with a new job, new friends and real responsibilities to fulfill. I have to say that my idea of Erasmus was not only t
