New experience in my profession

Name Gabriel Duda

Country of origin of the beneficiary Poland

Country in which s/he realized the mobility project Northern Ireland

Type of mobility (professional, education, volunteering, non formal training/adult training, youth exchanges) Erasmus+

I took part in mobility, because I wanted to get new experience in my profession. I also wanted to meet new people and improve my English.

I decided to go back, because I have got family in my country and I also go to school in Poland, so it will be difficult to leave there for long time. I hope that I will come back here one day.

Mobility gave me a lot of experiences, especially in terms of work, because I hadn’t ever worked before in an electrical shop. I will never forget it. I have also met a lot of amazing people and I think that my English is better than before.

I think that mobility helped me to feel like a European citizen, because I have never been abroad, this is my first time and thanks to this I can feel like I’m part of something bigger. This really helped me to integrate into the local culture and feel like a part of the new society.

I will advise my friends and family to take part in mobility, because it is a really great opportunity for young people to get new experiences and visit new country. It makes you more confident, more informed about other countries and cultures and helps you to make decisions about which career you might like in the future.
