My name is Olisa. I am a 3d year midwifery student from Vlora University in Albania.

I got the chance to join a semester at Calisia University – Kalisz, Poland.

My experience in Kalisz has been great. I have had a great time here at school where the teachers were really welcoming .

The university has all the conditions that a student must be provided to make the learning experience great . Another great opportunity is going out, making new friends, seeing new places and overall learning more about Polish people and their culture.

I have also visited other cities except Kalisz where I have seen old buildings, big squares, great museums, places filled with students,concerts and great food, always with some activity going on . The student life here is really one of the best. You will always find something to do.

I am very happy I lived every day of this experience to the fullest.

I think everyone should be an Erasmus student at least once in their life! This experience gave me the opportunity to travel, study, and learn so much more than any school or university can offer in some aspects. I have learned so much about myself and others during my stay in Europe in general, because in every place you go, you will find different people with different personalities and attitudes. For me, every place that I went to was a unique experience. I am always eager to see and learn more about other countries, cultures, languages, and of course, people. And that’s what I did! During my stay I exchanged languages, food, and culture with other polish and international people. 

Living in a peaceful and quiet place like Kalisz may not seem like the best place for a student, but on the other hand, it was part of the experience for me, plus to the fact that after all the hectic traveling, I needed some break! Another thing is, no matter where you live in the world, people around you are what make an experience better! I was able to visit my other Erasmus+ friends in Romania, Italy, Sweden, and Turkey. And let me tell you that each one of us had a different experience and they’re all amazing!

Hello, I am Ali from Palestine, and I had the opportunity to study at Akademia Kaliska in Kalisz, Poland. It was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. Kalisz is a quiet city with a well-established transportation system that covers the entire area, making it easy to navigate and explore. 

Being an Erasmus student at Akademia Kaliska gave me the chance to not only study in Poland but also to travel to different parts of Europe. It was an incredible opportunity to visit countries like Romania, Italy, Hungary, and Bulgaria, which I had never imagined visiting before. This experience broadened my horizons and allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures, gaining a deeper understanding of the world. The academic experience at Akademia Kaliska was enriching. The university provided a supportive environment with helpful staff and faculty members who were always ready to assist students.

The educational quality was excellent, and I had the opportunity to interact with students from different countries, fostering a multicultural and inclusive atmosphere. Being an Erasmus student in Kalisz not only allowed me to pursue my academic goals but also provided me with a unique cultural exchange. I made friendships with people from all around the world, creating lasting connections and memories. Exploring the city of Kalisz itself was a delightful experience, with its historical charm and welcoming community. In conclusion, my time as an Erasmus student at Akademia Kaliska in Kalisz was an incredible adventure.

It gave me the opportunity to study in a supportive environment, travel to fascinating destinations, and meet people from diverse backgrounds. This experience has undoubtedly had a positive impact on my personal and academic growth.

By Being part of the Erasmus +  program in Kalisz, I develop various skills and abilities. An experience of this type helps me to get to know myself better and to realize my strengths and weaknesses, as well as to learn how to overcome and overcome some obstacles, in other words, it promotes self-knowledge.

I also increased my network of contacts, as we have the opportunity to meet several people, coming from different parts of the world, which can provide us with immense advantages, both personally and professionally.

An experience of this type in my CV can somehow make me stand out among several candidates for a certain position in the job market, from the moment that several specialists in recruitment consider this to be a crucial experience for those who want to make a difference in the job market, not only for the knowledge acquired, but also that those who do Erasmus + are seen as someone with an “open mind”. Embarking on this program certainly makes me interesting, more tolerant, more multifaceted and triggered, as the relationships and interactions created help me to relativize some problems.

My name is Nércia, I am from Mozambique and had been participating on Erasmus+ mobility program in Kalisz, Poland.

It was my first time abroad, so I met new people from different countries and  got in touch with different cultures. I learned so much from them and, of course, they also learned something about my country.

During there time a have experienced different learning contents, different learning and teaching practices, I have developed new skills and improved my foreign language. 

I am very satisfied with Erasmus+ mobility experience in general, I would do it again, so I do recommend this experience to another student. 

After the mobility program I feel more confident in an intercultural setting and more able to cooperate with people from other backgrounds and cultures, to interact with different social groups, to adapt to and act in new situations and work better in a team.

Hello everyone, my name is Arcenio from Mozambique, and I am extremely happy to have participated in Erasmus+ program. This program has completely changed my life. The contact I had with people from different cultures and countries made me more tolerant, increased my self-confidence, expanded my network of friendships, and made me realize that as human beings, we should forget our differences and focus on what threatens us, such as climate change.

I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that I have learned a lot at  Akademia Kaliska, both as a student and as a person, and I will certainly capitalize on that. Thank you very much.
