ERASMUS PROGRAM | My Experience

 Srpski      English

Ciao svima 💜 

Danas ćemo pričati o Erasmusu, programu razmene studenata i da li je bitan i koliko. Mogućnost odlaska u inostranstvo na razmenu tokom samih studija je jedna od ideja koju većina nas ima prilikom upisa na studije. Mnogi ne dobiju tu priliku, da li zato što se želje i prioriteti menjaju u zavisnosti od fakulteta koji studiramo ili je to niži prosek na studijama koji je često odlučujući faktor, ali ne i najbitniji.

Postoji veliki broj kulturnih razmena preko određenih organizacija na koje se možete prijaviti, a koje ne uključuju studiranje, o tome ću vam pričati u nekom od narednih postova. Međutim, jedna od najlepših i najpoznatijih razmena vec godinama jeste Erasmus, program koji je podržan od strane Evropske unije, a uključuje studiranje tokom jednog ili oba semestra na nekom od evropskih univerziteta u nekoj od država za koju se odlučite.

Kao student italijanskog jezika na Filološkom fakultetu u Beogradu aplicirala sam za studije na Univerztetu u Tornu - Università degli Studi di Torino. Tamo sam provela drugi semestar tekuće godine.

Sam proces prijave i selekcije jeste zahtevan jer je potrebno dostaviti komplentnu dokumentaciju koja se zahteva, dakle od transkripta ocena do vize. Međutim, rokovi za prijavu su uglavnom dovoljno dugi da se sve na vreme može izvaditi i predati. Dokumenta potrebna za prijavu možete naći na sajtu MobiON - platformi preko koje se svi studenti prijavljuju na studije. Moj savet vam je da redovno posećujete ovu platformu kako biste se blagovremeno informisali o rokovima za apliciranje na željenim univerzitetima. Razmene se odvijaju dvaput godišnje.

Koliko je Erasmus iskustvo bitno?

Na osnovu mog ličnog iskustva, ali i iskustva drugara i kolega koji su proveli jedan ili oba semestra u inostranstvu, svi ćemo vam reći jedno: NEZABORAVNO!

Imati priliku da budeš stipendirani student i živiš i studiraš u nekom inostranom gradu je jedno predivno iskustvo. Pre svega sjajno životno iskustvo koje bih savetovala svakom od vas da iskusi ukoliko ima mogućnost. Nemojte da vas obeshrabri to da li ćete se snaći, da li ćete moći da pratite nastavu na stranom jeziku, da li ćete se uklopiti u sredinu, da li ćete imati dovoljno novca....SVE JE DOBRO UKLOPLJENO, tako da nećete imati brigu ni oko čega, sem da se družite, sklapate nova poznanstva, istražujete grad i okolinu i naravno učite!

Ove godine, usled Korone virusa nisam uspela u potpunosti da osetim kako je to studirati i biti fizički prisutan na univerzitetu jer su se fakulteti zatvorili 10 dana nakon mog dolaska, tako da sam nastavu imala online. Ali i tih prvih nekoliko dana su ostavili na mene jak utisak, jer je atmosfera u uređenost fakulteta neuporedivo bolja u poređenju sa fakultetom na kom studiram. Ali jedna od najvećih lepota jesu upravo kontakti koje ostvarite u gradu u kom studirate, to je ono najlepše....jer samo studije bez druženja, šale i zabave nemaju tu čar.

Erazmus vas mnogo ojača mentalno i psihicki. Tamo ste, u suštini, sami i oslonjeni na svoje lične sposobnosti. Kako ćete i šta raditi, zavisi isključivo od vas. S obzirom na situaciju oko Korone virusa, prva dva meseca sam provela u stanu, ali naredna tri sam se potrudila da iskoristim maksimalno, da se družim sa ljudima, izlazim, pričam i unapređujem znanje italijanskog i naravno putujem (na stranu spremanje ispita). Uvek kada me pitaju imaš li neku zamerku, moj odgovor je ne. Neke sitnice koje su mi možda u nekom trenutku zasmetale, nisu nimalo bitne u poređenju sa čitavim iskustvom i lepotom ovog programa. Ali naravno mnogo zavisi i od toga kakav ste tip ličnosti, ja se vrlo lako navikavam i prilagođavam novom okruženju, težim da sve gledam sa pozitivnog aspekta.

Dakle, prihvatite situaciju u kojoj se nalazite i u skladu sa tim delajte najbolje što možete. Nemojte oklevati i dvoumiti se, ako ste razmišljali o Erasmusu, ali niste bili sigurni da li možete - ja vas uveravam da možete. Bićete ponosni na sebe kad se vratite. Bićete jači, samouvereniji u sebe i svoje mogućnosti i spremni da se prepustite narednim prilikama koje vam se pruže.

Prvo i najbitnije, bićete ponosni na sebe i srećni što ste baš vi bili jedan od malobrojnih, ali vrednih studenata koji su imali priliku da svoje akademsko obrazovanje upotpune jednim ovakvim programom.

P.S. Nezaboravite da će Erazmus razmena studenata biti jako bitna stavka u vašem CV-ju 😊

Nadam se da će vas moje iskustvo motivisati da se prijavite čim budu novi open calls...

Hi to all of you 💜 

Today we're going to talk about Erasmus, the student exchange program, and whether it matters and how much. The possibility of going abroad for exchange during the studies themselves is one of the ideas most of us have when enrolling in studies. Many don't get that opportunity, whether because desires and priorities change depending on the faculty they study, or whether it's a lower average in studies that is often the deciding factor, but not the most important.

There are a number of cultural exchanges through certain organizations that you can sign up to that don't involve studying, that's what I'm going to tell you in one of the following posts. However, one of the most beautiful and well-known exchange for years is Erasmus, a programme supported by the European Union, which involves studying during one or both semesters at one of the European universities in one of the countries you choose to.

As an Italian student at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, I applicationd for studies at the University of The University of Torno - Università degli Studi di Torino. That's where I spent the second semester of the current year. The application and selection process is required because it is necessary to provide the complimentary documentation required, therefore from the transcript of the grades to the visa. However, the application deadlines are generally long enough to be removed and submitted on time. Documents required for application can be found on the website MobiON - the platform through which all students sign up for studies. My advice is to regularly visit this platform to inform you of the deadlines for application at the desired universities in a timely fashion. The exchange takes place twice a year.

How important is the Erasmus experience?

Based on my personal experience, but also the experience of friends and colleagues who have spent one or both semesters abroad, we will all tell you one thing: UNFORGETTABLE!

Having the opportunity to be a scholarship student and live and study in a foreign country is a wonderful experience. First of all, a great life experience that I would advise each of you to experience if there is a possibility. Do not be discouraged by whether you will manage, whether you will be able to follow classes in a foreign language, whether you fit into the middle, whether you will have enough money....everything is well blended in, so you won't have any concern about anything other than hanging out, making new knowledge, exploring the city and the environment and of course learning!

This year, due to Covid-19, I couldn't fully feel what it was like to study and be physically present at university because colleges closed 10 days after My arrival, so I had classes online. But those first few days also made a strong impression on me, because the atmosphere in college decoration is uncomparably better compared to the college I'm studying at. But one of the greatest beauties is just the contacts you make in the city where you study, it's the most beautiful.... because only studios without socializing, jokes and parties don't have that charm.

Erasmus makes you much stronger mentally. There you are essentially alone and reliant on your personal abilities. How and what you do depends solely on you. Given the situation around Corona, I spent the first two months in the apartment, but for the next three I made an effort to make the most of it, to hang out with people, go out, talk, and to increase the knowledge of Italian and of course I travelled (to the side that I needed to study). Whenever they ask me if you have anything you didn't like, my answer is no. Some of the little things that may have bothered me at some point don't matter at all compared to the whole experience and beauty of this program. But of course it depends a lot on what type of personality you are, I get used to it very easily and adapt to the new environment, I tend to look at everything from a positive perspective.

So, accept the situation you're in and act accordingly to that, do the best you can. Don't hesitate and doubt yourself if you've thought about Erasmus, but you weren't sure if you could - I assure you that you can. You will be stronger, more confident in yourself and your opportunities and ready to give in to the next opportunities that are given to you.

First and foremost, you will be proud of yourself and happy that you were one of the few but hardworking students who had the opportunity to complete your academic studies with a program like this.

P.S. Remember that Erasmus+ exchange program will be a very important for your CV 😊

I hope my experience will motivate you to apply as soon as there are new open calls...
