Dissemination: Spain

I’m María Las Heras Egea an Spanish participant of the Erasmus + project “My Hobbie My Business” in Predal (Romania). In order to contribute to the dissemination and promotion of the organizations and their youth projects, I decided to make a meeting in my class for my classmates. I’m studying a vocational training course about tourism in Muro de Alcoy specifically in the high school IES Serra de Mariola. Because we are a small group in class (6 people), I asked my tutor to take the tutoring class to talk about my experience in the project. She accepted my suggestion, so I made a small talk for 6 people in my classroom with the approximately duration of 45 minutes. The dynamic of the talk it was me talking as an informal way about different things related with the project:

On the first place I talked about how I found the project, how I applied, the process of selection and all the technical things that made me be a participant.

Then I continue talking about the sessions and the topic. I was explaining that the project was about business things, so I told them that the first sessions were to introduce ourselves, meet the other participants and to talk about our expectations related to the project. After that I told them that we started to do activities to introduce the business as a topic, for that we did one activity very interesting about the things that involves the self-employment for the young people who want to start a business in each country. That it was nice to analyze the situations and opportunities of other countries. After that I explained the main activity, it was thinking about one business idea and working in mixed groups to develop that idea and finally to present it in front of everyone.

After that I also talked about leisure time in the project, with this I mean that I was talking about our excursion day in Brasov, and explained what the intercultural nights are (and I showed them some videos and photos that I download from the drive to give them a visual example).

To conclude the meeting, I was saying that being part of an Erasmus + project is a very nice experience to meet new people, to learn new things in a different way, to discover a new country going out of your comfort area... I also add that is very good practice for them, because they are studying tourism, so it is a big opportunity to practice English that is a necessary thing in our sector.

I spent all the class talking so I answered most of the doubts of my classmates during the school break. Some of the questions were about in which places you can do this kind of projects, about budget and money, kinds of topic and questions related with the level of English.
