Day 9 LevelUp: Ready4Work

On the first day, the facilitators told us that time passes very fast. Today we felt it. We started the morning with our first energizer, Follow the Leader.

After the energizer, we had the session Sharing is Caring: Dissemination and Follow-up. The facilitators gave us clear guidelines for online and offline dissemination. We began the online dissemination, and each national team decided what they will do in their communities for offline dissemination.

After the coffee break, we started the final evaluation. We talked about Youthpass and the eight key competences. We received a short reminder to help us organise our ideas. We also received the notes we wrote on day one in the Time Machine. Some of us read them and realised how much we had achieved.

We continued with the Backpack activity: fears, contributions, and expectations. Some of us shared our thoughts. We closed the evaluation with another non-formal method, What Do I Take Home. The questions helped us reflect: What did you learn about yourself? What will you apply in your community? What did you like the most? What would you recommend for the future?

At the end, we had the Secret Friend reveal. During the day, we left messages on papers in the activity room for our new friends. This created a nice ending to this mobility.

This is not a goodbye; it is: See you soon.

Once Erasmus, always Erasmus.

Poland - Offline Dissemination

Otylia Olbińska, a member of the Polish team, organized a presentation about Erasmus+ projects at Bolesław Chrobry General Secondary School in Kłodzko on October 23rd, 2025. The event gathered 23 students interested in international exchange and non-formal learning. Otylia introduced the Erasmus+ program, explaining its goals and the opportunities it offers for young people’s personal growth, intercultural understanding, and skill development. She presented the “Level Up: Rural Youth in Action” project in Romania, which she had participated in, and described its activities such as workshops, teamwork, cultural evenings, and meetings with local entrepreneurs.

The presentation included authentic photos and stories from the exchange, helping students understand what Erasmus+ experiences look like in practice. The audience showed great interest and asked questions about joining similar projects. The session successfully promoted the Erasmus+ program and encouraged students to explore international opportunities for learning and self-development.

Poland - Online Dissemination

As part of the online dissemination, each Polish participant decided to share photos and a short description of the project on their social media (Facebook or Instagram), including a personal reflection about its value. In this way, the team promoted the Erasmus+ project, reaching their friends and followers and spreading awareness about international youth opportunities.

Our posts highlighted the importance of intercultural learning, teamwork, and creativity, inspiring others to take part in similar initiatives. This online activity helped strengthen the project’s visibility and showed how young people can use digital platforms to promote positive change and European values.

This Erasmus journey has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Not only did I gain knowledge and skills from the project itself, but I also learned so much about people, their cultures, traditions, and the unique perspectives they bring. 🌍✨

Sharing this adventure with 37 participants and 2 incredible leaders made it even more special. Together, we laughed, learned, grew, and created memories that I will carry with me forever. 💖
