The best opportunity I have ever had in my entire life!

A story by Claudia

Country of Origine : Romania

Country of Destination: Austria

I believe that coming to Vienna was the best opportunity I have ever had in my entire life.

I decided to take part of this mobility experience to discover myself and my capacities by knowing new people and working in a different environment  .

I chose to come in Viena due to the wonderful people around me and the professional working area where I worked for 3 weeks. Also , this beautiful city is full of history cites and green space were everyone can lay on the grass or play ping-pong, tennis,football or simply jogging. These kind of activies makes you feel good instantly because they spread a good vibe all over the place.

Furthermore , this mobility brought to life abilities that I did not believe that I have. For exemple , the capacity to adapt myself in a country where I have never been before , with a language that I do not understand. From professional point of view , I learned a lot about NPOs and NGOs , the concept of “crowdfunding” and how difficult is to raise money for a humanity cause.

Being a part of this mobility made me feel like a true citizen of the European Union: both with responsabilities and rights.

All in all , I would advise my family and my friends to take part of this kind of mobility because nothing compares with the possibility to be involved in a project that combines both working and socializing with people from all over the world.

Sunt de parere ca venirea la Viena este cea mai buna oportunitatea pe care am avut-o vreodata.

M-am decis sa fac parte din aceasta experienta de mobilititate pentru a ma descoperi pe mine si capacitatile mele prin cunoasterea unor oameni noi si prin a lucra intr-un mediu diferit.

Am ales sa vin in Viena datorita oamenilor extraordinari din jurul meu si a mediului profesional de lucru in care mi-am petrecut cele 3 saptamani. De asemenea , acest oras  minunat este plin de locuri istorice si spatiu verde unde oricine se poate intinde pe iarba sau sa se joace ping-pong, tennis,fotbal sau doar sa alerge. Aceste tipuri de activitati te fac sa te simti imediat mai bine deoarece emana o atmosfera minunata.

Mai mult , aceasta mobilitate a adus la viata abilitati pe care nu credeam ca le detin. De exemplu , capacitatea sa ma adaptez intr-o tara in care nu am mai fost cu o limba pe care nu o inteleg. Din punct de vedere profesional , am invatat multe despre Organizatii Non-Guvernamentale si Organizatii Non-Profit , conceptul de “crowdfunding” si cat de dificil este sa strangi bani pentru o cauza umanitara.

Facand parte din aceasta mobilitate m-a facut sa ma simt ca un adevarat cetatean al Uniunii Europene: atat cu responsabilitati cat si cu drepturi.

In concluze , mi-as sfatui atat familia cat si prietenii sa se implice in acest tip de mobilitate pentru ca nimic nu se compara cu posibilitatea de a face parte dintr-un proiect care combina munca la  o firma cat si socializarea cu oameni din intreaga lume.
