Learners

Mobility is more than traveling, because it fosters the geographic, mental and

emotional adaptability of participants, and they learn and live under unfamiliar

”

conditions. This engenders personal changes in their attitudes and behavior.

Mobility Actions - IDA program

“

"Integration through exchange"

Promoting transnational exchanges and transnational mobility allows disadvantaged people to expand in other EU countries their practical business experience and professional skills to facilitate their entry into the labor market.

ECTE has participated in both rounds of IDA programs (IDA1 and IDA2) the last five years, hosting more than 60 groups from Germany.

Tutor of IDA groups in Crete, Mr Matthias Burgey, has been accompaning the participants since 2009, describes his experience.

" ...the program helps participants, because they have the opportunity to

communicate in a foreign language and make improvements to it. This experience activates and stimulates self confidence. They learn to live alone and to adapt to a different environment, broadening their

spiritual field and think differently than before. This is very important. Imagine that for some people it is the first time they get out of Germany and so they are initially feel frightened." " ... I think that the most important contribution of the program to these people, is that enable them to develop their social skills and develop as people. Of course, many of them are getting very important skills through internships, that make Rethymnon in various companies. For this reason, many of the participants who have completed the program, about 70% have found work back in Germany. They began studying with the basis of the knowledge gained from the practice here."

The student life in Rethymno is fantastic! It's a city where students are more than the local people and that means that it's full of life! Students use to spend their time at cafeterias drinking their coffee and playing "tavli" . Almost every night their are out in places like tavern where they eat greek "meze" (like tapas), drink wine or the traditional "raki" and at the same time they listen to lovely bands playing live popular greek songs. In these places young people use to drink and dance a lot!

Katja Palén (Finland) Mikael Nummi (Finland) "Rethymno is a very beautiful city, next to the sea, big enough to offer you a lot of choices and small enough so you can reach every part of it on foot or by bike.

It is also very convinient for visiting places and citites all around the island" Matteo Scarcia (Italy) There are taverns that are full of students, in which you can eat, drink and dance spending a very small amount of money. Most of them have live music every Friday and Saturday night and there you will listen to the temporary greek music and dance mostly "tsifteteli". For alternative music you shouldn't miss the chance to go to the bar named "Figaro" . There are also a lot of clubs and cafe. Discover which one is full of students in the period you will visit the city. They are different every season.

Celeste Conacari (Italy)

LIVE in this city!

Walk a lot eating ice-cream, looking the beautiful sea, the people, the old houses. Just don't miss it!!!
