My Erasmus+ Mobility for studies at ESADA: Aleksandra Marczuk, VIAMODA

Aleksandra Marczuk, Graphic and Fashion Design student at VIAMODA (Poland)

Erasmus+ Mobility for studies at ESADA from September 2023 to June 2024.

I didn’t plan to go to my Erasmus to Andalucía. I didn’t plan to spend there whole year.

I didn’t plan to have tears in my eyes every time I think about leaving ESADA.

Thanks to the principals of the university, professors and community I had chance to be part of, it felt like home.

Experiencing the culture, fashion shows organised by Felix, group projects, lecture rooms and tapas with people connected to the art, I felt fulfilled with feeling of belonging to artistic life of Granada.

Facing challenges taste better when you can make it with friends. Thankfully I met the greatest ones. Poland, Spain, Romania, Cyprus, Turkey, Lithuania, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Italy and Netherlands never felt so close.

I’m grateful to Viamoda (Warsaw) and Esada (Granada) for creating such a connections which change the future for next generations by creating needle of connection between two, beautiful, different cultures and aesthetics.

I don’t say goodbye, because part of me is staying in Granada.

I don’t say goodbye, because part of me is waiting in Poland for ESADA friends to make more memories and art projects.

Enormous gratitude for every talk, every shared thought and every person I had chance to meet.
