Durante un mes y medio hemos tenido la increíble oportunidad de participar en un programa Erasmus+ en Finlandia, una experiencia que recordaremos toda la vida. Fuimos tres compañeros de nuestro instituto quienes emprendimos este viaje con la emoción de descubrir una nueva cultura, un nuevo entorno y conocer a personas que han dejado una huella imborrable en nosotros.   

Desde el primer día, nos sentimos acogidos por las familias que nos recibieron en sus hogares. Compartir su día a día nos permitió adentrarnos de lleno en su estilo de vida: su cercanía con la naturaleza, su amor por la tranquilidad y su manera de convivir. Aprendimos mucho, desde probar platos típicos hasta experimentar la auténtica sauna finesa. 

El instituto (Järvenpään lukio) donde estudiamos durante nuestra estancia fue simplemente impresionante. Además de sus modernas instalaciones, el enfoque educativo finlandés nos sorprendió por completo: clases prácticas, un ambiente relajado y profesores siempre dispuestos a ayudarnos. Esto ayuda a explicar por qué su sistema educativo es tan admirado en todo el mundo.  

Más allá de las clases, pudimos disfrutar de actividades al aire libre y explorar paisajes increíbles, desde los bosques hasta los lagos e, incluso, auroras boreales. No obstante, lo más especial de esta experiencia fueron las personas que conocimos: estudiantes y familias que ahora consideramos amigos para toda la vida.   

En conclusión, esta movilidad Erasmus+ no solo nos ha permitido mejorar nuestro inglés y ampliar nuestros horizontes, sino también crecer como personas y valorar aún más otras culturas. Finlandia nos ha dejado recuerdos inolvidables y nos ha enseñado que el intercambio cultural es una de las formas más enriquecedoras de aprender.   

Agradecemos a nuestro instituto por ofrecernos esta oportunidad y animamos a todos los estudiantes a participar en este tipo de programas. ¡Es una experiencia única que no se pueden perder! 

LONG TERM INDIVIDUAL MOBILITY IN FINLAND ACADEMIC YEAR 24-25 

For a month and a half we had the incredible opportunity to participate in an Erasmus+ program in Finland, an experience that we will remember for a lifetime. We were three classmates from our high school who undertook this trip with the excitement of discovering a new culture, a new environment and meeting people who have left an indelible mark on us. 

From the first day, we felt welcomed by the families who welcomed us into their homes. Sharing their daily life allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in their way of life: their closeness to nature, their love for tranquility and their way of living together. We learned a lot, from tasting typical dishes to experiencing the authentic Finnish sauna. 

The high school (Järvenpään lukio) where we studied during our stay was simply amazing. In addition to its modern facilities, the Finnish educational approach completely surprised us: practical classes, a relaxed atmosphere and teachers always ready to help us. This helps explain why their educational system is so admired worldwide.   

Beyond the classes, we were able to enjoy outdoor activities and explore incredible landscapes, from forests to lakes and even northern lights. However, the most special part of this experience was the people we met: students and families that we now consider friends for life. 

In conclusion, this Erasmus+ mobility has not only allowed us to improve our English and broaden our horizons, but also to grow as people and appreciate other cultures even more. Finland has left us with unforgettable memories and has taught us that cultural exchange is one of the most enriching ways to learn.    

We thank our institute for offering us this opportunity and we encourage all students to participate in this type of program, it is a unique experience not to be missed!

Amb ambdues exposicions contades en primera persona pels alumn@s, es va pretendre traslladar les experiències viscudes, a la vegada que mostrar les diferents possibilitats d’ estades a Europa tant de curta com de llarga durada. A partir d’ ahí, se’ls va repartir a l’ alumnat interessat les sol·licituds per a formar part del Club Ambaixador.  

Per a clausurar els ERASMUS DAYS, dijous 17 aquells alumn@s que presentaren la sol·licitud emplenada i signada per les famílies, realitzaren una activitat a l’hivernacle de l’ IES on varen trasplantar unes plantetes per a simbolitzar l’ inici d’ una nova vivència acadèmica com a Equip Ambaixador Cívic Europeu.
