My name is Matěj and I spent part of this July at Erasmus+ in Armenia, where I was sent by the Czech organization Proactive Mind.
It was the first Erasmus+ project I participated in. I had no idea what I was getting into and what to expect, but now that it’s all over I would do it again in a heartbeat.
The theme of the project was digital entrepreneurship, which is something I’m really interested in and the whole course was great. The Armenian organizers and the lecturer himself did a great job and prepared a great program for us. I met a lot of great people from different parts of Europe, made new friends, explored a new place and also learned something.
Every project is a bit different. Ours lasted 12 days and was packed with lots of workshops on entrepreneurship, digital business, marketing, presentation skills and more. But besides that, the organizers prepared for us two interesting visits to local companies and last but not least 2 trips – to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, and to Lake Sevan in the north of the country.
It was a great combination of learning, meeting new people and travelling to another part of the world. I personally really enjoyed it and hope to go on another Erasmus+ project soon. Either back to Armenia or somewhere else.
I would highly recommend this experience to everyone. Don’t be afraid of anything. You will leave excited, believe me.
PS: Definitely take advantage of the early arrival or late departure (2 days) and use it for some excursions.
Many thanks to Ondra from Proactive Mind for making this experience possible.
