  • Our reflections about this mobility

    JINGLE WORKSHOP : Create one single jingle for both our TV Adana radio channels ....

    Rodrigo and Francisco from Madeira: we can use the European union theme mixed with some traditional music from each region.
    Julius (Finland) and Mario (Spain): Mario creates some simple basses and drums from Spanish music, Julius creates melody from Finnish music.
    Laura from Finland creates some base drums and spanish guitar. Angela from Spain searched some Spanish music to have examples.
    Rym and Majda from Bologna used some typical Italian instruments such as the mandolin and the violin.
    Pauline from Reunion Island : The idea is to create a jingle by mixing the sounds from our partners countries or regions. I have already create the jingle for Reunion and I'm helping my classmate to use garageband and to advise them.
    Gaetan from Reunion Island : With Pauline I'm helping the other students to find melodies and instruments and also with the use of GarageBand (the app to create the jingle)

    Monday Activities

    On monday morning when we came to class it was a bit early. What I really liked about that day was the morning seremony that was presented to us. I got to dance a bit with the other girls.

    When we went to class for ice breaking activities, the air was beginning to be a bit more relaxed among the students. We finally all introduced ourselves to each other.

    Seeing Papeete after lunch was amazing. My group went to see the modern side of Papeete. We got to see a lot of really amazing street art works.

    In the evening with my family we ate dinner together and talked. It was relaxing and fun after a long day out.

    Activities Thursday

    The day begun at the Tahitian harbor and we had we had a 30min trip in a ferry to get to Moorea island. There we went by bus from Afareaitu to Paopao then we went by boat trough out Moorea’s coast to Papetoai where we saw wales, a family of dolfins, rays and sharks. I loved swimming with sharks and rays because I could touch them and it was a unique experience, at first it was a little scary but then we got used to it because they behave so friendly.
    Then we stopped in a different beach were they received us and we had several workshops where we learned how to make traditional food and a pareo show.
    Then we could swim in the clean and warm waters. It was a fantastic experience due to the beautiful landscape with a dense forest near the sand and the sea.

    An Unforgettable Experience

    This mobility has been the best experience I've ever had in my life, the paradisiac sight I got to see every single day is something I will never forget. I got the occasion to swim in the cleanest beaches I've ever seen, I had the chance to meet the president of French Polynesia, and I got to meet some of the nicest people ever. The family was amazing. Never in my life would I have thougt I'd get affected to some people in such a short time. I loved everything about this mobility, and I love and miss every single person I met there. I'm looking foward to return to Tahiti someday in the nearest future.
