OUR MEMORIES Giorgia Maglia, Italy The trip to Greece was wonderful!

It was my first time there and I had the possibility to visit fantastic places like the Acropolis and the Parthenon and we saw many famous streets too.

The best part for me was the meeting with the Greek students because we met in person for the first time and they were so kind and friendly with us.

I'll always remember this trip and I hope seeing my new friends again in the future.

Federica Paratore, Italy The trip was fantastic. My first time in Greece was a great one for me! I enjoyed walking the streets traveled by characters from history and visiting famous places all over the world. But the best part was definitely meeting our local friends, English allowed us to communicate and break down the distance. It was also a great opportunity to strengthen the friendship between us Italians that we shared a tiring journey but that has enriched us from all points of view. Next year where? I can't wait!!

FRIENDS FOREVER

WE DANCED TRADITIONAL GREEK SONGS AND WE SANG SONGS IN GRIKO LANGUAGE

Alessandra from Italy Dimitris from Greece Visiting a new country and meeting new and fantastic people was a wonderful experience.

We met other guys with whole we created a close friendship bond.

Together we learned their language, discovered new foods, songs and typical dances. It was a fantastic educational trip that allowed us to visit a place that I personally had never visited before and I hope to be able to return. The most interesting thing was to go up to the Acropolis and see the Parthenon. It was even better the moment of meeting in the Greek school where we met with new friends and together we sang and danced! Now we are waiting for your coming in Italy!â?¤

This experience was one-off. I made new friendships and learned new words. I used also the English language a lot. The Greek dances were very funny and we had a great time together. I believe that they had fun too and got a grasp of the Greek culture. We have many similarities and we all are teenagers who share the same passion for new friends!

Chiara and Olga from Italy The trip to Greece was fantastic! we met new people and we had the chance to relate to a new culture. We deepened the English language and tasted the typical Greek dishes.

Arsakeio's school was large and beautiful, very organized and surrounded by nature. It was very fun to dance the sirtaki and sing songs in different languages. We hope to repeat this experience. We all miss them very much !!

I

We visited the ACROPOLIS MUSEUM and the ACROPOLIS ROCK Unforgettable experience !!!!

Vincenzo from Italy Gloriana from Italy I think this trip was among the most beautiful. It was a fantastic experience, I met fantastic and friendly people, I learned new words and new gestures similar to ours. The Greek sweets are delicious, but I remain faithful to Italy. The Greek dances were really fun and engaging and I enjoyed spending time with them. My interest was captured by Athens. I think that Athens is beautiful, with its acropolis and its monuments it gives a unique emotion to the viewer.

In conclusion, these are experiences to do because they enrich you both culturally and morally, meeting new people and seeing what we have in common allows us to open our eyes to another way of life, and thanks to our Greek friends I have tested their way of life and to have fun. I can't wait for them to come to Italy to convey the same emotions that they transmitted to me.

Antonio S. from Italy The trip to Greece was The journey is over but I would love to be in really fantastic. It was a Greece again.I never expected to meet so fantastic experience. We many nice and kind people; initially I was so have visited really skeptical that I thought more than once of not fascinating places.

I really Together with the Greek guys we visited many enjoyed meeting the Greek magnificent places like the Acropolis, we students. I was very danced the sirtaki, we sang and we laughed, impressed by their school we laughed a lot. One thing I wasn't so sure of because it's very different was that we and the Greeks had so many from ours. We played, things in common and that we agreed on so danced and we had great fun. many things. I look forward to seeing them I can't wait to see them.

We had lunch in a traditional restaurant in Plaka Nick from Greece I think that the trip was a great experience. My favorite part was when we went to the Parthenon. I am looking forward to meeting you guys in Italy and I hope that we will have a great time there too !!!

Antriana from Greece!!:) This experience was one of a kind and I have certainly gained valuable information about Magna Grecia through the interesting presentations.

Going to Akropolis with the Italian students was fantastic, however my favourite part was the activities that we did all together. I must admit that I have noticed many similarities between the Italian and the Greek culture and I am really looking forward to visiting them in Italy. All in all it undoubtedly was an unforgettable experience.

Catherine from Greece Meeting the italian students was an unforgetable experience. My favorite part was when we went to the Acropolis Museum. It was nice touring our country, because althought we live in that country it is not that easy for us to go to these places.The first day they visited us in our school. From their presentations I understood that our countries and cultures have a lot of similarities.We both enjoy the same type of music and we also spend our free time doing the same activities.

The trip to Greece was great!

Antonella from Italy This trip was one of the most beautifull trip that I’ve evere done.

In this experience i have known new friends and they were beautiful and friendly people. I liked their school. It is more different than mine and I was fan when we danced and sang song. My interest was captured by Acropolis. In my opinion it is one of the most important place in Greece, because rapresents the historic part of the city.

Abaut this I have been fashined from more view than the monuments.

I’m waiting to meet my greek friends to soon.

Jim K. from Greece I had a great time with the Italian students! We made lots of new friendships which will never be forgotten. We danced, we laughed and we made lots of new experiences. My favourite part was when we sang songs in the music room. I really enjoyed all the activities and I am really looking forward to going to Italy as well

Myrto from Greece Meeting up with the students from Italy was a great experience.

Together we visited Acropolis of Athens, tasted traditional Greek food and danced traditional folk dances. The Italian as well as the Greek students visited Greece in all its glory and we learned a lot about the ancient Greek culture in the process. We both share unforgettable memories. We made great friends and I can’t wait until we see them again!

Elisa Q. from Italy The trip to Greece was great! The palces we went to were awesome and beyond my expectations. Meeting with the greek students was the best part though, they were so nice to us and I enjoyed spending my time with them.

I am looking forward to meeting them again here in Italy! ❤ Jim from Greece Meeting the Italian students was an unforgettable experience.The fist day Italian students came in our school we saw lot of presentations and then we ate all together. The next day we went to the Acropolis Museum and we saw lot of archeological statues. Then we went at the top of the Acropolis! We took lot of photos and we had lot of fun.

Dorina from Greece I thought this experience was overall amazing. We did a lot of Greek activities including Greek folk dancing. We also visited the Acropolis museum and I feel like up until this visit none of the Greek students appreciated our culture enough. However, after seeing their reactions to our traditions and culture, we developed all of the respect that we were lacking in the past, since we realized that we were taking it for granted. Apart from that, I thought the visit was really fun as well. All the students instantly "clicked". We also realized that we actually have many similarities and common interests. We made a lot of new friends that we are looking forward to seeing once we visit Italy.
