Time to take advantage of my discoveries Throughout my job shadowing experience in Uruguay I found myself answering many times the same question: why did you come to Uruguay from your beautiful Italy? It seemed crazy to leave my country to spend one month in Santa...
We need that people can live their lives
We need that people can live their lives When I returned to my country after my experience of job shadowing, I could see the situation about early school leaving is similar, except for some specific problems. In Uruguay there are not many associations that work to...
We all have something to learn
We all have something to learn There isn’t really a way to compare my job shadowing in Estonia and Kenya. The same project, same aim, yet so different experiences. I can’t even begin to explain how much I learnt during a whole month of job shadowing in Kenya, just...
The differences that make you grow
The differences that make you grow After an amazing experience in Palermo it was a wonderful feeling to be back to my home country. The welcome was a very traditional mix-up in Lumbini Beginners Academy where the job shadowers of Edu-Action 2.0 project in Nepal...

Let’s “karibu” new tools to beat ESL!
Let’s “karibu” new tools to beat ESL! Karibu is the word for Welcome in Kiswahili (do not mistake with Swahili, which refers to a community of people, but not the language) and I “karibu” new learnings, emotions, relationships and memories after my job shadowing...
Nepal: back to the intercultural shock feeling (and how good it feels!)
Nepal: back to the intercultural shock feeling (and how good it feels!) Seven days since I arrived to Nepal, and just today –after a whole week, yes– I understood how the meals work here. I have been eating in the wrong order for 7 full days… So, this is...

Getting into the Sauna culture
Getting into the Sauna culture The job-shadowing in Estonia was quite special during all the month we spent here. We had several activities for four weeks all around the country. The first ten days we were involved in the project called „Rahvuskaaslased“, where we had...
An impressive dedication
An impressive dedication I would have never imagined living such an intense experience in the city that has been my home for the last two years. During this first month of job-shadowing in my home country, I have been a "cultural mediator" for my Uruguayan colleague,...
