HOSTING ZNI - TESTEMONY FROM ALIEU CEESAY
Why should you take part in mobility Maribor, Slovenia? There is no one direct answer to intelligent question like this but yet some fact about my experience will surely convince you to choose Maribor in order to feel complete.
I participated in the mobility to increase my professional and international experience, the idea of learning by doing is the most effective way of learning because it is something that stay with you forever. I lived in Lithuania for more than a year persuading my Master degree.
The moment I finished my studies I knew that something is lacking in life, I got some domestic experience and now a master degree. I decided to change country of living, that is from Lithuania to Slovenia. At first I though it is going to be impossible to adapt the culture, climate, people or even the job. To my surprise, I was taught by ZNI member to embrace the fact that failure is not an option. Through the help of ZNI I was able to climb the ladder to over come my anxiety.
During my stay in Maribor, I was able to socialise more with people from different backgrounds and countries. I was able learned some basic words of Slovene such as “Hvala” which mean Thank you and so on. I happen to visit the Liberation and Regional museums which were great interest to me. The latter museum was a Castle and was later tranform to museum an have so many historical facts about Slovenia, perticularly Maribor.
For me personally, the training help me in becoming outspoken and confident in oneself. From professional, I was more of economist, but the training help me to become more versatile beyond economics and help me to understand the management/managerial roles in organisation. I was able to learn how to host project, implement and monitor them through both onsite and offsite.
My training last for 5 weeks and I now feel like am a World citizen, because experience gain through this training have enriched my CV and make me so proud to achieved both domestic and international experience, thanks to Erasmus + and ZNI.
We often say, Small is Beautiful, the word beautiful perfectly fit Maribor. To all students and partners searching were to go for your Erasmus+ , please consider Maribor because it worth being there because of its low crime rates, lovely people and nice town.
I wish, I have a second chance to come back
Many thanks.
