My Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training at ESADA: Rita Nunes, ISEC Lisboa

Rita Nunes, Academic Services at ISEC Lisboa.

Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training at ESADA, from April 22nd to 26th, 2024.

My Erasmus mobility at ESADA was an incredibly enriching experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with the utmost kindness and friendliness, which made me feel at home immediately. Throughout my stay, I gained valuable cultural knowledge and insights into both internal and external administrative procedures.

I had the opportunity to develop numerous skills and deepen my understanding of the processes at ESADA. I participated in various workshops and lectures that covered different design concepts. Notably, I attended a seminar on communication, which enhanced my ability to convey ideas effectively. I also took part in a workshop on tattooing, where I learned about the art and technique behind it, and another workshop on jewelry making, which broadened my creative and technical skills.

I had the pleasure of being accompanied throughout my stay by Félix and Puri, who treated me wonderfully and made me feel at home. Both of them taught me expressions and words in Castilian, which significantly improved my knowledge of the language, for which I am very grateful. Their guidance and support were invaluable, helping me navigate both the academic and cultural aspects of my stay.

The ESADA community was exceptionally welcoming and supportive. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. They provided me with a list of wonderful places to visit and eat, which allowed me to fully immerse myself in the local culture. Additionally, the Erasmus group was taken on an excursion to explore the beautiful city of Granada. One of the highlights of this trip was visiting a breathtaking viewpoint that offered a stunning view of the Alhambra, an unforgettable sight that will stay with me forever.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone at ESADA for the wonderful week I spent in their company. I am deeply grateful for everything they provided, taught, and demonstrated to me. The warmth and generosity of the ESADA community made this experience truly special. This entire experience was unique and deeply impactful, and I definitely intend to repeat it in the future.
