As a teacher I enjoyed this mobility a lot as it was with some new partners. The expectations were fully met, the program was rich and varied so we had a chance to do and see a lot of things from team collaborative activities through university visit to seeing beautiful Amasya. And, of course, in the heart of Mediterranean cuisine, it was a pleasure to learn about Turkish cuisine as part of the diet. Thank you, Selin and Ilknur, very much for this unique experience :-)

Such an enriching experience connected to Erasmus+ mobility as a teacher! Grateful for the opportunity to exchange good practices, share educational insights, immerse in the vibrant local culture: Embru technique, Amasya trip, OMU University, Dr. Kok's warm welcome, engaging workshop in Media Literacy. All in all, inspiring connections and meaningful experiences that will stay with me!

Our Erasmus trip to Samsun and Amasya was honestly such a great experience. Samsun had this cool coastal vibe, chill walks by the Black Sea, good food everywhere, and a mix of modern city life with bits of history, like the Atatürk monument. Then we went to Amasya, and I felt like I was in a fairy tale.The city is built between cliffs and a river.

We explored, laughed, enjoyed the food and last but not least we made amazing new friends. It was an unforgettable trip full of good vibes and great memories.

My overall experience was great. From the acitivites I really enjoyed I really enjoyed the workshop about separating fact from fiction online. It made me realize how much misinformation we see every day, even about food. I never thought about connecting the Mediterranean Diet with media literacy before! The campus of the university was beautiful and I liked that we had time to explore it. But my favorite part was seeing the handmade crafts at the VET school. The women were so talented! It felt like walking into a living museum of Turkish tradition.

It was a very interesting mobility, especially that it was in Turkey that I ve never been before. As I have worked as a pilot student, it was interesting to see how the designing of the course is getting on. The activiites were all very good. I liked a lot the seminar on media literacy which really opened my eyes. We learned how to check if online posts about food are reliable. I also found the professor's lecture on classroom management interesting. The day ended with a visit to a school full of Turkish art. I was impressed by the details in the embroidery and how they connect past and present. I felt proud to be part of an Erasmus project that respects vet education, science and culture.

Τhe first day of the project was exciting for me. I had no confidence with my English but I felt confortable to work with students from other organizations and different ages. The icebreaker games helped me a lot. The seminar about environmental campaigns gave us great ideas and I liked how we worked in international teams to make posters. It felt amazing to actually present our work to people in the city during the campaign at Bulvar AVM. I had never done something like that before! The city tour after all the hard work was the perfect ending. Also I feel like working for the same cause with my teachers, to create this digital course according t the learners needs and thats exciting!

Thank you very much friends from Turkey for the experience! It learned a lot of new things and made educational visits that will help me a lot in me future work as food technologist. Visiting Amasya was one of the best parts of the trip. At the food technology school, I got to see equipment I had never used before. It was cool to see how students in another country are trained in food science. The city itself was beautiful, like a museum in real life! The dinner in the evening was delicious and I noticed that many Turkish dishes use olive oil and vegetables, just like in the Mediterranean diet. It felt like we were learning even while we were eating!

Apart from the joy of finally meeting in person colleagues I had previously collaborated with on an eTwinning project, and being truly impressed by the beauty of the city, this Activity was well-organized and purposeful in every detail. For us teachers, it marked a true milestone. During our time in Samsun, we had the opportunity to consider the feedback from our pilot students regarding the educational material developed for the digital course. This valuable input will help us make the necessary adjustments and prepare the TwinSpace for implementation within our institutions.
The seminars, workshops, and visits to the university and VET schools all contributed meaningfully to the project's goals.
Thank you very much for this enriching and inspiring experience!"

This was my first time participating in an Erasmus+ mobility and in the activities of this kind of international collaboration. Everything was very purposeful, well-planned, and directly connected to the project’s goals. I felt truly involved and an active contributor. The combination of educational visits, workshops, meaningful discussions and cultural experiences gave me a holistic view of how such mobilities can enrich both personal and professional development.

It was inspiring to exchange ideas with colleagues from different countries and to see how we can all work together toward shared values contained in our Erasmus+/eTwinning project. I look forward to applying everything in our digital course. The goals of the Activity were met fully, thank you all so much.
