ERASMUS OČAMI ŽIAKOV: Sicily, Oct 2023 Martin Fajtl

PROGRAMME THROUGH THE EYES OF OUR STUDENTS

Sicily, October 2023

Erasmus+ really caught my eye for many reasons but the ones that made me apply were mainly the possibility to experience real workplace abroad, get to know a different culture and travel.

We went to Sicily, Millazzo, which is a small medieval town with the oldest castle on Sicily, situated on the northern coast of the island. The architecture and the environment were stunning. Our accommodation was really close to the sea and we could see the beach from our balcony and used to go for a swim almost every day. We had breakfast at a café in the centre and indulged ourselves every day with typical sweet Italian cornetto or brioche. Quite late dinners were served in local restaurants so we tried a lot of dishes peculiar to Sicily.

The whole stay was an amazing experience, I got to see how real work looks like, spent three weeks doing graphic designs and I think it will help my future career a lot. At weekends we went on trips and visited Mount Etna, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Europe, a picturesque town of Taormina and explored timeless beauty of the ancient city of Syracuse.
