What did COMENIUS mean for you?

It was a great experience, as I was able to get to know young


French, Portuguese and Poles, and learn about their cultures.
I loved becoming friends with people from different countries,
and being hosted by a Polish family allowed me to know their
lifestyle, daily routines and food more in depth. I think
projects of this kind should keep running, as you can learn a
lot and they leave a mark in your heart.
Lara Cores Rodrguez
It was fantastic! Despite the language barrier, we were able
to communicate and understand each other perfectly. It
helped me learn how to interact with others, respect other
cultures, exchange ideas and experiences, and discover new
places and customs.
Linda Percncula Martnez
It was a unique experience. It allowed me to interact with
students of different countries and I felt at ease with them as
we developed a very warm relationship. I learned a lot about
new cultures and how to interact better with people of other
countries and languages. All in all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. I would definitely participate again.
Sofa Caamao Molina
I improved my English, learned some Polish language and
customs, and to adapt to eating new things at different eating
hours. It offered me the opportunity to discover new places,
meet new young people and live together with people I didnt
know before.
Alba Reboredo Pin
I would like to point out several things. First, the visit to
Auschwitz broke my heart. I still cant figure out how it all
was possible. Also, the Polish family made me feel at ease
from the beginning and made my stay the best experience of
my life. Finally, I learned that you can make friends even
though they are thousands of miles away.
Luca Garca Carramal

I would highlight the friendship that grew among all of us, the
places we discovered and the different culture. It was a
unique opportunity and I hope to keep enjoying it and
learning from it.
Marta Fernndez Abal
I learned that not everybody in the world is mean. I was
feeling really lonely because of a mishap Id had with a fellow
student, but in this project I was able to get on well with
everybody. It was a unique opportunity.
Silvia Garca Diguez
My stay with the Polish family was great. I felt really
comfortable and had to get to grips with my poor English. I
learned how to communicate in other languages and that I
dont need to be surrounded by many technological devices.
Diego Fuentes Castieira
I loved participating in the Comenius project because I made
many good friends with students from other countries and
because I learned how to get by without my parents, out of
home. I found the project very interesting.
Catalina Alarcn Torres
I liked it because of the many things I learned, all the friends I
made, and because I lived together with another family in
another country. I practiced my English a lot and I am very
happy to have collaborated with the COMENIUS project
against discrimination and inequality.
Alejandro Das Lpez
It was a very positive experience, as I met people from many
places, and I learned to be more careful and less blunt. Also, I
found out that I can communicate well in English.
Brian Franco Gulas
I learned ethic values in my visit to Auschwitz, a lot of Polish
history, and words in Polish, French and Portuguese, but
above all, I learned that you dont have to speak the same
language, have the same customs or live near to make very
good friends, as whats best is to meet people in other places
in the world.

Yaiza Iglesias Garca


It was a special, unforgettable experience. I went to a country
where I had nothing and I came back with a lot of friends,
knowing very different things and realising that not
everybody has the same lifestyle. It made me more
responsible and taught me to be more respectful when living
together. COMENIUS changed my life.
Anta Torres Gonzlez
To be honest, I am very shy and had some difficulty in getting
to know the foreign students, but the time I spent with them
was great, and watching them leave was very hard. I learned
a lot, especially in our visit to Auschwitz.
Sonia Rey Caldas
I learned to interact better with people from other countries
and cultures, and also to live together with people I didnt
know but who have become a part of my life since Comenius.
Amanda Rial Gonzlez
I learned to interact with other people despite not speaking
the same language, and to value the teachers great job.
Andrs Picallo Galante
It was an unforgettable experience that will leave a mark
upon our lives. Thanks to all the friends for being so kind and
accepting us the way we are, and to the teachers for making
the project possible.
Borja Pieiro Aboy
I discovered new ways of cooking, new food, new customs,
etc. I also learned that you dont need to speak the same
language to make friends, and that distance isnt enough to
set friends and hearts apart. COMENIUS allowed us to live an
incredible and unforgettable experience.
Noelia Rey Rodrguez
Apart from many other things, I learned to be more careful
and responsible. I am glad to have participated in COMENIUS.
Zoe Bugallo Casas

I found it an incredible experience. You learn lots of things:


different customs, different languages, but above all, you
learn how to live together and accept the different.
Sometimes we tend to reject what is not mainstream, but if
we give it an opportunity, we can not only like it, but it can
actually change our lives. As we were students from four
countries, I learned that nothing is better than diversity.
Carla Martnez Martnez.
Perfect, I now have a loving family in Poland. The best thing
about COMENIUS is to learn that teamwork helps us reach our
goals.
Alba Martnez Espia
I discovered the culture of several countries, learned to
interact with people of different places, put myself in their
shoes, live together with them, take control of my quirks, and
I also improved my English. I think COMENIUS is a wonderful
thing that helps us to learn and grow as a person.
Nerea Sanmartn Blanco
I think I would embark on such an experience again, as you
discover new cultures, but you also learn how to interact with
other people speaking different languages, and to be more
independent.
Alba Corredoira Piay
I learned to mingle with people who have different cultures,
customs and lifestyles.
Nerea Fernndez Surez
I learned the meaning of words that, without realising it, I
didnt understand before: fellowship, respect, friendship,
diversity.
Mara Arboleda Ramrez
Above all, I learned how to mingle with people from other
countries. COMENIUS allowed us to travel with our friends, to
work in teams and to discover other cultures, countries and
people.
Elizabeth Gonzlez Feijo

CONNECTING SCHOOLS, BUILDING CITIZENSHIP


I would like to put forward a personal reflection on what the
participation in COMENIUS meant to me, especially the Meeting in
Rezesw with the Polish, French and Portuguese students, and the
activities we carried out together.
One of my favourite visits was the salt mines in Wieliczka, a UNESCO
World Heritage site. I also enjoyed the one to Wawel Castle, as we had
plenty of free time. However, despite it being hard and sad, the visit
to Auschwitz was the most fruitful one: you need to know the past to
protect the future.
The visit to Auschwitz was the toughest part of the meeting. I was
actually a bit ashamed because I couldnt stop crying the whole time
we were there. Our guide explained it as normal as can be, and I
couldnt understand how there could be people capable of inflicting so
much suffering to another human being and then killing them, and
why we dont even know their names. Despite the horror, it was a
necessary visit, and I think I can speak on behalf of every student and
teacher in saying that knowing about all that pain has changed us
significantly.
However, I would also like to highlight my relationship with my guest
Polish family, the Lewandowskas. They made their best so that I felt

like at home. They made up the room for me, and the parents, who
didnt speak much English, made an effort to communicate with me.
The relationship with the other students, Polish, French and
Portuguese, was fantastic. We made a lot of friends. It was as if we
knew each other a lifetime. We left Poland with more friends and a big
family.
I would definitely participate in another COMENIUS project a thousand
more times. Apart from discovering places and meeting new people,
we built strong ties with our teachers and fellow students. It was a
truly fruitful and transforming experience.
I learned to value more my friends and teachers, to realise that the
rain isnt enough to spoil a perfect day, that distance is only an
excuse for those who are scared, friends arent made with a language
but with a heart, and home is not a place but a feeling.
Four words could summarise my experience: magic, experience,
opportunity and discovery.
