Success Story – C.

Testimonials

Noémie

Aged 22, County Donegal, Ireland, from September to December 2025

Could you sum up your experience in a few sentences?

My Erasmus+ experience was very enriching. It enabled me to discover a new country and a new culture, and to become more independent. I learnt a great deal, both professionally and personally.

What have you learnt from this experience?

I’ve taken away a very powerful human experience, some wonderful encounters and a real boost to my self-confidence. This exchange programme has enabled me to broaden my horizons and to envisage my future more clearly.

What would you say to Erasmus+ applicants or peers to encourage them to take part in the programme?

I’d tell them to go for it without a second thought. It’s a unique opportunity to learn, grow and step outside your comfort zone. It’s an unforgettable and hugely rewarding experience

Lenz

Aged 24, Valencia, Spain, from September to December 2025

What would you say to Erasmus+ applicants or peers to encourage them to take part in the programme?

Don’t hesitate! It’s a really enriching experience; it’s a chance to learn more about yourself and about others too. If you get the chance to do it, don’t hesitate for a second! (And choose a warm country.)

What have you learnt from this experience?

What stands out for me is that I have become more mature in the decisions I make, but also in my outlook on life; I have rediscovered how to be spontaneous, to find wonder in everything around me, and my ability to adapt

Kilian

Aged 20, Cork, Ireland, from September to December 2025

What would you say to Erasmus+ applicants or peers to encourage them to take part in the programme?

I’d say go for this programme without a second thought, because it’s an incredible opportunity to embark on a new adventure and to discover ourselves. To gain new professional and personal skills. And thanks to Erasmus+, we can dream even bigger

Sarah

Aged 22, Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, from September to December 2025

What would you say to Erasmus+ applicants or fellow students to encourage them to take part in the programme?

I’d tell them to give it a go. We’re very lucky to be able to have this experience for free, when so many people would love to be in our shoes. And besides, we always learn from the experiences we have, and that helps us grow.

Jemmylha

Aged 23, County Donegal, Ireland, from September to December 2025

Could you sum up your experience in a few sentences?

I was very proud to have had this experience. It helped me build my self-confidence and step outside my comfort zone. It reinforced my belief that I can adapt despite the difficulties, and I’ve grown in maturity.

What would you say to Erasmus+ applicants or fellow students to encourage them to take part in the programme?

I’d say you have to dare to step outside your comfort zone, because it’s an opportunity to live somewhere else and discover a new way of life, and it can also help you discover yourself in a different environment that you’re not familiar with.

Hayamée

Aged 20, Dublin, Ireland, from November 2025 to May 2026 (6 months)

What would you say to Erasmus+ applicants or fellow students to encourage them to take part in the programme?

Erasmus+ is an enriching experience in many ways (both personal and professional) that enables you to develop

Jocelyne

One-to-one English tuition

I really enjoyed my training at Ici & Ailleurs. I found the staff to be professional, attentive and patient, and, above all, I made real progress.

It’s an investment, but one that’s well worth the joy of overcoming the obstacles that had previously prevented me from finding enjoyment and pleasure in learning. I’m going to keep up the momentum.

The strengths of the course are the one-to-one lessons, the clear structure, the attentive teaching tailored to my pace, and the learning materials provided.

Thank you so much for your patience, for understanding my expectations and the challenges I faced, and for your constant encouragement. It was a learning experience that was both rigorous and friendly, and I’ve come away from it a better person.

Guillaume

Aged 20, set off on an Erasmus+ placement in Prague and the Czech Republic in September 2024
‘I’m much more capable of learning independently than I ever thought I’d be. I’ve made progress by practising, repeating things over and over again, and opening my mind to new horizons. Above all, I’ve learnt English, kindness, and how to overcome obstacles and setbacks. I’m proud of myself because I’ve grown, I’ve overcome some of my fears, and I’ve come up with lots of ideas.”

Giovanny

Aged 25, set off on an Erasmus+ placement in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2024
“This experience taught me to have more confidence in myself, that everything I needed was already there, within me. I learnt that I’m good at adapting and that I’m a quick learner, whether in my professional life or when learning a language. I’ve become aware of my positive outlook.”

Janice

Aged 60, going on an Erasmus+ placement in Dublin, Ireland, in September 2024
“I’ve managed to spread my wings and take a step back. I’ve been able to build my self-confidence by travelling and exploring Dublin and the rest of the country on my own.”

Pauline

Aged 22, set off on an Erasmus+ placement in Valencia, Spain, in September 2024
“I really enjoyed the experience; I opened up to others and to meeting new people. I immediately felt a deep sense of personal fulfilment that I’d never experienced before. I felt more at peace with myself, as if I were discovering a new version of myself – one that was more confident and serene. It allowed me to reconnect with a sense of freedom and genuine happiness, and fuelled my desire to explore the unknown further and make new discoveries. This transformation has strengthened my motivation to continue growing and developing, both professionally and personally.”

C.

Aged 26, going on an Erasmus+ placement in Ireland from October 2024 to March 2025

AL HABIB

Aged 19, went on an Erasmus+ placement in Ireland from May to August 2023
“I applied for this ERASMUS+ project to improve my English with a view to my future plans of becoming a cabin crew member (steward). I did my work placement in a coffee shop in Ireland. It’s a wonderful experience! Try to see the positive side of it – it will help you become more open-minded, and give you the chance to travel and explore.” 

CHLOé

Aged 23, went on an Erasmus+ placement in Ireland from May to August 2023

KEVIN

LUANE

Aged 19, went on an Erasmus+ placement in Spain from March to July 2023
“To a prospective student, I’d say go on an Erasmus+ programme because this sort of opportunity doesn’t come along for everyone every day. By going on Erasmus, I learnt a lot about myself and about adult life, in a way. Don’t hesitate! It was an excellent experience.”

Fioranza

Aged 22, went on an Erasmus+ placement in Cork, Ireland
“What I enjoyed most about this Erasmus+ placement was the trust my host company placed in me. It enabled me to develop both professionally and personally. It’s a very rewarding experience.”
