OUR EXCHANGE PROGRAM EXPERIENCE IN ROTTERDAM
Good morning, I am Pablo Salabert. I am 19 years old and I live in Vencillón, a small town in Huesca. I study Transport and Logistics in Lleida, at Escola del Treball vocational school, and last november, I had the opportunity to participate in an exchange program in Rotterdam with the Albeda College.
The Cross Cultural Event lasted 2 weeks. The first day, the teachers prepared some breakfast for the students and we started doing speed dates to get to know each other. In the afternoon, they gave us a city tour through Rotterdam. The next day, we got grouped by nationalities and did a presentation about our country (culture, traditions, interesting things…) After that, the teachers made the groups for the main project. We worked in a group for the next few days and prepared the presentations to show them on the last day.
We also had very interesting talks about Business English, Sales Training and Presentation skills.

Hello, I’m Maria Estany. I’m 20 years old and I also went to Rotterdam in the same Erasmus course for two weeks. I was doing an exchange program about International business, with Albeda College, there we were people from all around Europe.
All the mornings we had commercial classes, they taught us how to talk in front of the public, how to do good publicity, etc. At the same time we had to create a business related to renewable energies. Also we went on a touristic tour and they showed us around, the most important places in Rotterdam, the culture, the traditions, etc.
This experience was incredible for Pablo and also for me and we are really glad to have been able to come here, to have met all these kind people, and to have learned lots of things about their culture and their country.
