Dear fellow teachers and other readers,
I have had the opportunity to be part of the PASSION FOR LEARNING Erasmus + Project and, as it is coming to and end, I thought I would come here to share some of its strengths and draw some conclusions from my own experience.
I would like to start by congratulating all the teachers involved for their useful contributions to this project, for their dedication, enthusiasm, patience and passion for teaching but also for learning, all of which were, nevertheless, reflected in their work and in the intellectual outputs of this project.
Of course, I would like to congratulate the students who have taken part in all the activities with great interes and an open mind and heart to all of the new experiences that they have encountered. They have been very fortunate to be part of the "Erasmus experience", so to speak, from which they have had the opportunity to learn so much, not only about other cultures and school systems and teaching styles, but most importantly, about themselves and their own emotions, thoughts and cultural background.
As for myself, I was given the opportunity to travel to Bialystok, Poland, together with my colleague and five Romanian students, where we had a wonderful time engaging with our Turkish and Polish partners, working together with their students and ours, and learning from al of them many valuable lessons.
Taking part in this project taught me a lot about the importance of learning from everybody around us, it made me appreciate other cultures and teaching styles, and it made me wish to be able to offer my students such great experiences again in the future.
Thank you to everybody involved for this great project!
