“ Mobility is more than traveling, because it fosters the geographic, mental and emotional adaptability of participants, and they learn and live under unfamiliar

conditions. This engenders personal changes in their attitudes and behavior. ”

ECTE has participated in both rounds of IDA programs (IDA1 and IDA2) the last five years, hosting more than 60 groups from Germany.

Disadvantaged young people, particularly people with no school or vocational qualifications, long-term unemployed, women and workers, especially those with low skills or low incomes and people with a migration background, especially in difficult situations (eg. as refugees)

" ...the program helps participants, because they have the opportunity tocommunicate in a foreign language and make improvements to it. This experience activates and stimulates self confidence. They learn to live alone and to adapt to a different environment, broadening their spiritual field and think differently than before. This is very important. Imagine that for some people it is the first time they get out of Germany and so they are initially feel frightened."

" ... I think that the most important contribution of the program to these people, is that enable them to develop their social skills and develop as people. Of course, many of them are getting very important skills through internships, that make Rethymnon in various companies. For this reason, many of the participants who have completed the program, about 70% have found work back in

Germany. They began studying with the basis of the knowledge gained from the practice here."

Promoting transnational exchanges and transnational mobility allows

disadvantaged people to expand in other EU countries their practical business experience and professional skills to facilitate their entry into the labor market. “ ”

Tutor of IDA groups in Crete, Mr Matthias Burgey, has been accompaning the participants since 2009, describes his

experience.

Rethymnon, located at the heart of Crete, with wonderful weather, picturesque coastline and countless historical sites, attracts tenths of thousands of guests who want to see the priceless heritage of the past and enjoy gentle sunshine and beach rest. Base of the University of Crete, is a vibrant city which hosts numerous of socio-cultural events and activities to meet the varied interests of Erasmus participants.

Why Choosing Rethymnon, Crete

as Erasmus+ participant

"Rethymno is a very beautiful city, next to the sea, big enough to offer you a lot of choices and small enough so you can reach every part of it on foot or by bike. It is also very convinient for visiting places and citites all around the island"

The student life in Rethymno is fantastic! It's a city where students are

more than the local people and that means that it's full of life! Students use

to spend their time at cafeterias drinking their coffee and playing

"tavli" . Almost every night their are out in places like tavern where they eat greek "meze" (like tapas), drink

wine or the traditional "raki" and at the same time they listen to lovely

bands playing live popular greek songs. In these places young people use

to drink and dance a lot!

There are taverns that are full of students, in which you can eat, drink and dance spending a very small amount of money. Most of them have live music every Friday and Saturday night and there you will listen to the temporary greek music and dance mostly "tsifteteli". For alternative music you shouldn't miss the chance to go to the bar named "Figaro" . There are also a lot of clubs and cafe. Discover which one is full of students in the period you will visit the city. They are different every season.
