students

are friendly, good, funny and kind. We have a lot of

friends and we love them all,

Country..its culture. It is a beautiful country but the

best is the people and their kindness

What we have learnt on this exchange

A bit of Greek and more open to people/ More

English and a lot of the ancient Greece/met a lot of

new people and made lots of friends who are

already part of my family. I have also learnt how to

be a better host and a better guest/ to

communicate with people who I don’t know and

who don’t speak Spanish or English /A lot about

Greece culture and my English has improved/to live

with a family I didn’t know before in a foreign

language and be more polite.

Changes in our personality after this experience

I feel more confident with myself as I can talk with

people in another language/ I feel my mind has

grown in this trip and I am working more now ( I

don’t know why . may be that I became more

mature?/more sociable/ my mind is more open

now/ less shy and more friendly .

No negative comments on the organization of the

project

Changes to be done to improve the program

Make sure there is no train or tube strikes / more

days of visit there to stay with the family and walk

in town/similar personality and age with your

friend-exchange/ more information about the

family you are going to stay with and the possibility

of speaking with your friend- exchange beforehand

and get to know him/her/checking of passports as

we would not like have Irina ´s case/ Greek friends

should have been more time in Spain. There was no

time for being with family and friends.
