Experience of Participants
Giorgi Tatanashvili
“At the East European University, in the second year of my Master’s program in Educational Research and Administration, I had the opportunity to continue my studies at the Austrian university of education within the Erasmus + program. Without any exaggeration, I can say that it was one of the most important experiences of my life, both professionally and personally. Multicultural and at the same time very friendly environment, practical training courses, the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in a real learning environment, communication and work with highly qualified specialists in the field, travel, expansion of social relations and connections, including development of research or other business cooperation – these are incomplete list connected to Erasmus+ and experiences gained through this program.”
“As part of the ERASMUS + exchange program, I spent four wonderful months in Austria with students from 10 different countries. In Austria, I have seen in practice how powerful the difference in education is and how it affects students.
I cannot say that Erasmus changed my life radically – I said, on the contrary, Erasmus showed me that the path I chose years ago is exactly the one I have to follow. It is a path that inevitably unites many nations and pursues the idea of multicultural unity and education. I would like to thank the East European University and the University of Upper Austria and wish similar opportunities to many other students, especially future education specialists!”

“Participation in the exchange program is one of the most significant steps in my life, as it gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with the education system of such a developed European country as Austria. The experience gained has played an important role in my career and personal development. “
“East European University gave me the opportunity to study one unforgettable semester at the University of Education Upper Austria in Linz within the framework of the Erasmus+ exchange program. Because we had to study during a pandemic, professors often jokingly referred to us as the Erasmus corona generations. The exchange program was both a challenge and a great opportunity for me to develop personal as well as professional skills.
I should note that the knowledge gained at the East European University made it easier for me to successfully complete a semester in Austria, and my participation in the exchange program largely contributed to my further success and employment at a school in Spain.”

“The East European University gave me the opportunity within the framework of the Erasmus+ program to receive such experiences as obtaining European education, getting to know different cultures, and meeting interesting people.
During my studies in Austria, I got a great experience and got to know a lot of new things, which helped me a lot to discover myself and new interests, both in life and in terms of education. Therefore, I returned with the most important experience, more knowledge, and full of the best memories and impressions of the trip, which will remain indelible in my life.”

“Within the framework of the Erasmus+ EU grant program, the Eastern European University gave me the opportunity to carry out the component of my doctoral research at the Bucharest University of Economics.Participation in the Erasmus program is the best way to get closer to people with different cultures and education, to discover new knowledge and opportunities. I think this program is a great opportunity to increase self-confidence and motivation.
It was a period full of challenges and inspirations that helped me develop both my professional and academic skills.I would like to appeal to each student not to miss the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus grant program.”

“While doing my MBA (Finance) at the East European University (EEU), I had the opportunity to study at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE) under the ERASMUS + ICM program. I was especially interested in courses, which, together with the theoretical material, provides the best methods of application/implementation in practice. ASE cooperates with world-famous companies, which allows it to have information and the ability to adapt the educational topics to existing or expected requirements of markets and train specialists with relevant theoretical /practical knowledge and skills.
I think that with the purpose of the exchange program – to analyze different teaching methods, adapt to different cultures and a rapidly changing environment, I successfully coped.I would like to thank my University EEU and hosting University ASE, the staff of both Universities, whose direct involvement and assistance made all the processes related to study even more pleasant.”

“During my second year in the Master’s program of Law at East European University, I had the incredible opportunity to study for ten months at Tuscia University in Viterbo, Italy, through the Erasmus+ program. This experience not only allowed me to participate in the exchange but also enabled me to earn two master’s degrees by the end of the program.
This challenge was one of the most significant of my life, profoundly shaping my future. Over those ten months, I developed professionally while immersing myself in a foreign environment. I discovered more about myself, embraced a new culture, and forged friendships with people from around the world.
That period stands out as the most vibrant chapter of my life, filled with emotions, unforgettable memories, and new experiences. I recommend it to any student seeking growth and adventure.”

“East European University provided me with the opportunity to study in Romania at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies through the Erasmus+ program. Participating in this exchange program became one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, contributing to my personal growth and helping me better understand my capabilities. While living and studying abroad certainly comes with its challenges, the diverse academic environment at Bucharest University made it easier to navigate cultural and language barriers and adapt to my new surroundings. During my time in Bucharest, I explored local culture and traditions, engaged in various student projects and cultural activities, and built friendships with peers from different countries. I believe the knowledge and experiences I gained from this exchange significantly enriched my academic and personal development, and I’m confident that this experience will positively impact my future career.”
“Exactly one year ago, the most important academic year of my life began. Participating in the Erasmus+ exchange program convinced me that it was the best decision. This year-long adventure not only familiarized me with the European education system but also allowed me to immerse myself in the vibrant culture and lifestyle of an Italian city. The diverse community at the university enriched my experience, contributing to both my academic growth and personal development.
A highlight of this exchange was the opportunity to earn two independent diplomas, which was particularly appealing to me. As a result of this opportunity, within the framework of my master’s course, I was able to complete both the Master’s program in Private Law and the Master’s program in Human Rights and Security, which further expanded my knowledge and areas of interest as a future lawyer.
I would like to say that this experience made me realize that I will always be open for new challenges and adventures, as it is through such decisions that I can continue to develop. That is why I believe that if students have a chance to participate in the Erasmus+ exchange program, they should definitely take advantage of this chance and not miss the opportunity to gain an unforgettable experience.”

“Participation in the Erasmus+ exchange program was one of the most significant and memorable experiences of my life. The program had a profound impact not only on my academic knowledge but also on my personal and professional growth. It wasn’t just about studying in a new country – it was about stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing a new culture, language, and challenges.
Beyond the academic novelties and working with international students, living in another country significantly improved my independence and adaptability. The daily situations I faced in an unfamiliar environment helped me refine my confidence and communication skills.
Erasmus+ was truly an exciting “journey”. The new environment, new people, and unexplored paths are truly the best things a student can experience. It’s an experience I recommend to everyone who seeks personal development. Every opportunity to take action is a unique chance. That’s why I wish for all students to seize this opportunity and gain an unforgettable experience that will stay with them for life.”
