Misunderstandings

First of all, I would like to tell you: from the first day it was very strange to me to come to Poland, Katowice because I have never been here before so what I noticed first was that in Katowice almost nobody speaks English language. It was big problem for me, because I cannot speak Polish language to communicate. Though, I managed to communicate using my body language. I also had some problems with my new mentor: he was not too helpful, he just wrote me before coming to Katowice. I was trying to get some help from him, because before coming to Katowice university sent me an email, that there are no places left in the dormitory, so I had no place to stay. Later on I just reserved a place in a hostel with my friend which also did not have a place in universities dormitory. First months I thought "why I came to Katowice?", but then I found one more hostel to stay for longer time. Anyway, I just wanted to share my problems.

University & experience

In university they have high quality education: professors are clever and they motivate you to study more! For me it is the most important part about studying: I did not feel bad waking up in the morning thinking that I need to go to classes. I loved the teaching system in Katowice.

Experience itself was not bad: I have visited almost all historical places in Katowice. But in daily life it was weird: city is small, a lot of disturbing people in the streets. But did I like Katowice? I did! I just have experience now, so trust me when I say, that before going to any country, you should learn a little bit of the language, because around 80% of people in Katowice did not speak English whatsoever.

I recommend this university for people who care about education. There were some lectures where I could learn how to use programs like SPSS, and other lectures gave us some interesting practical experience, like Marketing Management in Services.

Good luck!

Dovilė Gudavičiūtė

VGTU student Erasmus+ traineeship at Funkt LTD (Bulgaria)

I was always a little bit different and crazy in a way, so my family and friends expected something intriguing after asking me which country have I chosen to have my internship in. And of course every time I would say “Bulgaria” to the person whom asks me, I would get a response what a weird and uncommon choice I have made. But Bulgaria has the two things I love the most – big mountains and people with big hearts.

This was my first experience in the program Erasmus+, so everything for me was very thrilling and bringing a lot of lessons and experience. First of all, I got an amazing opportunity to work with a creative, young, leading studio in Sofia. Not only did I learn to work in a team and to express myself through the tasks that I was given, but also I found new friends in the environment that I was working in. I was very surprised that my bosses even showed up at my goodbye party. Just imagine, dancing to pop songs with your mentor and the boss!

It wasn’t that hard for me to live in Sofia financially, even though it’s the most expensive city in Bulgaria the prices are fairly low compared to the other European cities. There is a common opinion, that a lot of Bulgarians speak Russian, which is completely false. Most of the youth and a big part of the middle aged people speak very good English. So finding a flat was not a problem, people are keen to foreigners. It is easy to find a room to rent in social media groups.

In Sofia there is always something to do – the city has a lot of galleries and museums and an interesting nightlife. The Bulgarian cuisine is a mix of all types of Balkan dishes. It's rich in proteins but also vegetarian friendly. You can find a lot places to get home-cooked meals which are delicious! The Balkan music scene is crazy, once you see a live playing band you will feel as if you are in a Kusturica’s movie.

Describing my Erasmus trip I could write a whole book. Now, after my trip, I am more self-confident and independent person. And I want to encourage those who doubt their wish of going abroad through Erasmus – this opportunity is worth taking! Now I’m sure that only challenging ourselves we can achieve something worth.

Ernesta Rupsyte

VGTU student Erasmus+ traineeship in language school "Inglaterra en Casa" (Spain)

My ERASMUS+ Internship was very spontaneous. I just got a newsletter from Evelina Kutkaitytė and decided to try. In one night I‘ve wrote my CV, portfolio, motivational letter and I started to apply for an internship. Approximately, after 1 week I had an internship place in Spain as an assistant in media team. I worked in summer camps and a summer school in which Spanish children learn English language because the teachers there are native speakers and the rest of the staff do not speak Spanish, as well. By working in this company, I had a chance to see different towns of Spain because summer camps were located in different areas, like Ondara, Benissa, La Nucia. By living in smaller towns, I had a chance to see not just touristic parts of Spain. In addition, I did not needed to pay for my accommodation because the company provides you this. That means that you do not have to spend a lot of money on rent.

Talking about work itself, I worked with professional media team, who also worked in the TV of Valencia. Eduardo worked as a professional photographer and cinematographer and Salva worked in a radio station and specializes on social media channels. Both of them taught me useful things, like how to hold a camera to avoid shaky moments, how to edit videos more professionally, how to pick the right music and many other things, which were useful for me because we do not have a course of filming and editing in university. I really enjoyed working with these people, they were fun, although it took some time for me to get used to their Spanish way of communicating by touching and hugging all the time.

I had a great summer experience with many great people in sunny Spain. I did not plan this, everything seemed to be scary in the beginning but Evelina from the International Office helped me a lot by saying that everything is going to be OK, and helping to fill the documents.

Overall, if I need to say three good things about this program, I could say: 1. Meeting amazing people! 2. Getting more and more self-confident (not just in speaking another language, but traveling alone, introducing yourself to others, etc.) 3. Getting a chance to work with professionals in another country.

Sergo Martirosov

VGTU student Erasmus+ traineeship in University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic)

Erasmus+ internship, in which I participated in spring of 2015, took place in Czech Republic, Plzen, University of West Bohemia. My main objective was to help in already started project called ‘NovaHospoda’ (NewTavern) which was a Virtual Reality project “game” made with Unity 3D engine, for alcoholism support therapy. So my tasks included modelling 3D objects, tweaking some environmental aspects, searching for bugs, working with avatarʼs animations and sounds. Also I had some time spent learning programming and different modelling tools like Blender and Google Scketchup and had some pleasure working in Virtual reality lab. During the internship I had different tasks from different areas to accomplish, which taught me a lot, and improved my multitasking and adaptability skills, not to mention I gained good experience, met a lot of new people and learned a bit of Czech language.

Teona Mamasakhlisi

VGTU student Erasmus+ traineeship in Bastion Holdings Ltd. (Malta)

Erasmus Work Placement significantly improved my CV by gaining a lot of work experience in the financial services industry which helps in enhancing my future employment prospects. Before I started my internship in Malta, I felt inferior and scared to work with a group of professional people, however, now I feel that I have improved certain soft skills such as team working and communication skills that are sought after by employers, especially at a graduate level.

If you take two graduates with the same good qualifications and personal attributes and one has gained work experience and the other has none, it is likely that the job will go to the person who has experience. In fact after proving myself to the supervisor he offered me a job, I also had the opportunity to go on business trip with my supervisor in Switzerland which helped me also in building a strong client relationship.

During my internship, I gained experience in the Funds industry sector as I worked in both the Fund adminstration and the Fund Management department. This gave me a solid work experience both form an accounting perspective as well as from an Investment Portfolio Management. I had to work, and interact everyday with people from Malta which helped me improve my English. Some general skills that this program helped me develop include time management, planning and professionalism.

Furthermore, Erasmus Work Placement is not only about work experience but also gaining a cultural competence such as tasting delicious Mediterranean cuisine and visit some of the old churches and historical places this country had to offer. I made a lot of friends and the past 4 months will be unforgettable.

I suggest that it’s a must that all students join the Erasmus Work Placement programme as it’s the first step for a successful career.
