UVT student"Erasmus, being short or long is an experience I deeply encourage everyone to have at least once in their life. In my BIP in Zaragoza, I had the opportunity to learn about the history of art and the cultural aspect of being a woman in art in Spain. I learned about a different culture through lectures organized by several university professors from different parts of Spain and took part in debates with students from 4 countries. It truly helped me evolve personally and gain a new perspective on life and for that I am deeply grateful to everyone who made this exchange possible. If you're reading this and thinking of going to an Erasmus+ mobility, take this message as a sign to do so. Go out of your comfort zone and explore the world!"
