Testimonios
“Hello, my name is Elisa, this summer I was in Barcelona and I worked in ACJ YMCA, avoluntary association for people with economic problems, I, in particular, workedwith children from 4 to 7 years old. Although at the end of the day I was verytired, I liked this job a lot and it was very useful. I would like to thank the Nexes and Iwould like to go back to Spain."
Nexes supports this kind of exchanges by offering sociocultural activities. For instance, in a Trencadis-workshop we imitated Gaudi‘s technique which not only supported the idea of interculural exchange but also taught us about the famous Catalan architecture. We also made hand-made ice-cream and could see the Castellers – an event in which people build a human tower. This is very typical for Catalonia and a long tradition. All these activities were fun.
“In the first week we had spanish class, where we got to know with interestingpeoples from other countries. We learned the basical knowledge of the spanishlanguage and a lot about the attractions in Barcelona and in Spain. The teachers werereally nice and we had a lot of fun”
"During my internship in Barcelona, I was accommodated with a sweet, elderly lady named Amparo. Besides me, she also had two Italian students living there. They helped me, if I had any questions, since Amparo did not speak English and I unfortunately do not speak Spanish. I received a warm welcome when I arrived. Lunch was served and then we had espressos and chocolates from her birthday reception. She wasongoing and full of energy despite her age. She turned 90 years old the day before Icame.”
"Adam spent three weeks in Barcelona, doing an intership in a wooden toys company, designing and manufacturing toys. Referring to his tutor and coworker, he said: "Working with these two guys (Laffayete and Javi) has been more than incredible. Getting to know them, and their friends. They are both enjoyable to be around, and they definitely made my stay inBarcelona unforgettable."
